This is without doubt a moment in history where ordinary people can grasp the chance to achieve something truly monumental and demand from the 8 world leaders at G8 an end to poverty. The G8 leaders have it within their power to alter history. They will only have the will to do so if tens of thousands of people show them that enough is enough. By doubling aid, fully cancelling debt, and delivering trade justice [View Full Entry]

First visit to the Bronx Botanical Garden and certainly not my last. I purposely struck out on my own in this garden, instead of sticking with my tour group. Yes, I admit, this was an escorted tour. I can feel the cringing of my more independent-minded travel friends when I describe tour. I say, don't dismiss it till you try it. The sheer size of this garden reminds me of Longwood Garden.

The Cloisters, situated in beautiful Fort Tyrone Park in Upper Manhattan. The Cloisters is an extension of the Metropolitan Museum of Art devoted to the art of medieval Europe. The Cloisters, opened in 1938, incorporates architectural monuments carefully transported from Europe and reconstructed in a building specifically designed to evoke rather than imitate the monasteries, churches and halls of medieval times.

I spent a few hours on Sunday participating in a Spring Cleaning event at Otto's Mini. A great time to meet fellow Mini owners, whose cars are as unique as their owners. "Jack" was washed and waxed until he shimmered. I learned a few new tips and tricks regarding waxing a car, including a novel use of peanut butter oil. Jerry, staff member of Otto's BMW, took me for a ride in a motorcross Mini. I was blown away! 0 to 90 mph in 2 nanoseconds! The car handled like a champ, especially around tight corners! Oh yeah...I can easily see [View Full Entry]
