It's All a Matter of Perspective

This past weekend, Patrick (my soup du jour) took me on a surprise get-away to Mendocino. We stayed at a quaint B&B with no TV, phone, or cell phone coverage. It was wonderful being cut off from the world. I was amazed at how easily I slipped into the "relax" mode when there were no other distractions available. It's so hard in this day to day hustle and bustle kind of world to really separate oneself from the stressors of life. I liked the fact that there was absolute quiet everywhere we turned. Even the weather was cooperative in that the storm that was scheduled to come never materialized. In its place were clear skies and a light breeze. Even the moon seemed to shine brighter than normal. I enjoyed the change of pace and I look forward to escaping from my hectic life more often in the future. :)

P.S. I felt so small amongst the redwoods.

Ciao Da Roma!!!

Buon Giorno! I just spent a great week in Rome for work (Grazie Disney). I forgot how much I love Italy. It's an affair that will last for the rest of my life. Great food, wine, people, art and architecture. The January sales were still on so I got some pretty good deals, even at Prada and Gucci. I saw the Pope on Sunday. He sends you his best.

Looking forward to seeing you all next month.

Ciao!

Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do? My name is Samuel Lee Whitman and I'm up in the hizzouse turning one month old. You best not mess with me! My parents are bad add mothas and they will take you down.

I'm now accepting any and all visitors--just give my people a jingle and we'll set something up.

Peace out.

Insensitivity

I've found myself growing increasingly intolerant of stupid people. I really must work on this.
