Welcome!  

The title of this web address?  My former address when I was an international, globe trotting executive.  Flat 14 Molasses House - London, United Kingdom.   I figured it was fitting considering I like to drop the fact I lived overseas into many random conversations...

You:  "Excuse me.  You're stepping on my foot."
Me:  "I lived in London.  They called a car trunk a boot."

Flat 14.  Molasses House.  Overseas.  Where I lived.
Another reason why this title is apropos?  I want this to be as comfortable as a hot, stack of buttermilk hotcakes with a silky golden river of molten molasses lava flowing down the sides and onto the plate.  Oh and I'm obsessed with food.

Good.  Healthy.  Delicious.  Freakin'.  Food.

I'm not saying that I will not deviate and post some randoms ("Was Charades Ever Cool?" or "Does This Freckle Look Like William F. Buckley?") but I will not get political or step on a polarizing soapbox that causes web-rage.  That undeniably overwhelming urge to opine vehemently against an often anonymous commenter on a news/info/entertainment/sports/lifestyle/social media website as if you were delivering closing arguments at Brown Vs. Board of Ed.

"I say you, sir, it was an abomination that a talented lass as Lady Lindsay van Lohan with such precocious talent in said society of the artistic of thee I sing that you describe as having a wooden-like nipple and then some and then some, I decree."

Or some crap like that.

Nor will I choose this venue to post personal affirmations.  Like those Facebook friends we won't name who have a profile picture that is slightly better than a "Glamour Shot" (showing my age?) and talk crazy like "I am so damned grateful, I sh*t thank you notes."  Keep an eye on those folks...they are just one parking ticket away from driving their car through a Pizza Hut with a tankful of gas."

Instead - I want to pass along good ideas and thoughtful chatter and my hope is that I will get some better of both in return.

Cheers and salut!
