No, silly, it's not a new weight-gain shop for bodybuilders. But this new venture concocted by moi strives to reduce the non-recyclable by-products of packaging. Gone are the milk plastic bottles that end up in the sea shores. Away with the soda glass bottles that reduce themselves from shards to grains to powder that remain along the freeways.These new grocery stores will be in every

On the train back to Cusco after a gratifying overnight excursion to Machu Picchu and Aguas Calientes, our carriage was treated to an unexpected fashion show that was both hilarious and entertaining. Initially, I cringed at the thought of my being witness to baby alpaca shawls getting peddled to gringo tourists. But my snobbish disdain disappeared as soon as I realized that "hey, everybody's in

This is my impression of Manila in acrylic and masonite back in the mid-1990's when this veritable metropolis was in the midst of a construction boom. Bamboo scaffoldings were everywhere. Delicate-looking but sturdy, the stalks wrapped around concrete slabs and columns to form cages, gently swaying with the pacific air currents. I sort of wish that the supports were left long after the

The Persians are coming! Off to Thermopylae! "Guerrier Combattant", Agasias d'Ephese, ~100B.C., Louvre.Did anyone catch on with the '300' reference? OK, I must admit that the statue was found at the beginning of the 17th century in the south of Rome, and not anywhere near the Greek isles, and the sculptor whose name is inscribed on the base is from Ephesus which was a Roman outpost and not at

San Francisco is blessed with a geography that is the envy of most U.S. cities. Its peninsular constraints bound by the San Francisco Bay, the Pacific Ocean, and the hills to the south prevents it from becoming a relentless suburbia that plagues most U.S. cities and towns. Despite this seven by seven square miles of human compaction, public transportation is notoriously lacking and inefficient.

If you've never seen Peter Greenaway's The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover, put it at the top of your NetFlix queue. As a bonus, you can watch Helen Mirren in her glorious self before becoming stodgy Queen.I have always wanted to realize Greenaway's backdrop in this film into a full-blown restaurant venture sans the forays into the grotesque and the cannibalism. The long banquet tables,
