I befriended a young lady at the club I work out at. Our conversation began because she brought to the club Kit Kat candy, which I spotted while she was on a treadmill. I will refer to her as Dr. Kit Kat for the purpose of these reviews. While at medical school at Ohio State University she contracted hepatitis. She was given a shot to protect against hepatitis prior to coming down with the disease. The shot failed to protect;…
Evidently donkeys at Marah Land Zoo in Gaza City were dyed with black stripes because real zebras would be too expensive to bring to Gaza. Let me spin this topic a bit from its original meaning and then turn it back upon itself. I love to drink zebras. The coffee store, I seem to frequent, simply has such strong coffee that I had to drink mocha’s to keep from having my eyes well up with tears due to the strong…
I love the Adobe suite of products for the web. It costs a lot of money but Dreamweaver and Photoshop really are most professional and one saves money, sometimes, by buying more than one software in a bundle. I even have accepted Bridge even though it seems a bit awkward. My infatuation was put to the test with the most recent upgrade, CS4. The installation went swell until I noticed that Dreamweaver failed to install. Of all the products in…
I had early the same morning purchased my sleeping zebra for myself and a grande mocha Frappuccino for my son at Albertsons Super Market, 2500 E. Imperial Highway in Brea, California. Later the same day I took my daughter over to the same Starbucks inside the same Albertsons to get my daughter a mocha Frappuccino. My daughter told the barista that it was my birthday. The barista reminded us that I could get a free drink because it was my…
Here a few impressions of our Maui trip: As we drove from the airport to our resort on the west end of the island, I was a bit shocked to see the land from highway 30 inward to be dry, almost desert looking while the resorts, hotels, residential and commercial properties that typically occupied the space between the highway and the sea were green, even lush in composition at times. You can feel rain droplets coming down upon you but…

Charley’s Restaurant, Pala, Maui, Hawaii 142 Hana Highway Pala, Hawaii, 96779 808-579-9453 Date reviewed: 6/22/09 for breakfast. Observations Ambiance: funky Seems every seat has a cushion and one does not have to sit on hard wood. Coffee: ok, nothing special. Tea?s hot water comes in nice tea pot. Pancakes are so large you might not see the plate they come on. Tip: Buy ONE pancake unless you are famished. Tip: The blueberry pancakes come with a LOT of blueberries. Eat…
Leilani’s On The Beach 2435 Kaanapali Pkwy Kaanapali Beach area of Maui within the Whaler?s Village The AAA guide for Hawaii gave us a short list of eating places near our resort. The guide shows most of the restaurants having a score of 2 out of 4. My concern was that any restaurant with a good view of the ocean might allow its food preparation slide in favor of providing a stunning view. We visited the concierge at our hotel…
My sister called me one day to tell me she was sending me a book by mail. I got the book the very next day at around 11:30am. I had completed three quarters of the book by the time I went to bed. It has been years that I have had my hands on a book that read so quickly and was this compelling to read. Before we get started with this review, I would like to flatly state that…
