Unbelievable as it may be, I taught (e:mike) how to use a mechanical lawn mower. For those of you that know (e:mike) , this is a near miracle.

Wow I am full. I seriously don't think I will eat again till Tuesday. We had lamb, asparagus, string beans, mashed potatos, three kinds of olives, bread, salad, mushrooms, brownies, pineapple, chocolate, celery, brocoli, and more. Now I am tired despite the espresso.

I am spending the day at my Nonna's on the lower west side. The neiggborhood here is bumping with people, the way I remember Kenmore as a kid.

It has a nice residential feel, unlike elmwood which is resembling an outdoor shopping mall, more and more each day. I wonder if they will ever cover it over like the Goethe Gallerie in Jena, Thueringen, Germany. I will post a link later, so you can see what I am talking about.

I was thinking about the space in front of globe market. I love Globe Market and their food but remember when it used to be a park and you could sit there for free.

I also wonder what is going to happen to the gang of homeless people that live in front of burger/starbuckets. I keep meaning to sit with them one day and find out their stories.

No it's not a political movement. They are chemicals that cause aging. when I worked at Feel Rite (like 10 years ago) we sold enzymes that broke them down. I guess they were useful after all.

LONDON: Scientists have managed to stave off the ageing process in mice, a discovery that might pave the way to longer, healthier living in humans too.

Experiments at the US-based Washington University School of Medicine showed that protecting the body of mice against highly reactive chemicals called free radicals long suspected as a cause of ageing gave them longer lives, reports the Scottish daily Scotsman. Quoted from: Secret of ageing no longer a secret- The Times of India

(e:matthew) has all this insider information about upcomming developments on Elmwood. I hooe he writes about it because I have a feeling it will spur on lots of debate.

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there.
