Raves – Tim's Reflection Connection

Vegan Dishes

Several months ago I began eating a lot more vegan dishes, and I have to declare, I was pleasantly surprised at how delish these dishes can be. My worry was that they would be bland and leave me hungry. Nothing could have been further from the truth! I’ve become a huge fan of cauliflower. Well, I’ve always liked it, but… Continue reading

Happy Birthday, Steve

When I first met Steve, he had been sober for 10 years. Such had not always been the case. He was very active in AA and has been all of these years. I just have never liked alcohol, and I actively hate drug use. I’m lucky these were never a part of my life. I will remove myself from the… Continue reading

This Is Not New York

We just returned from San Francisco. We hiked up around Muir Beach Overlook. I saw this sticker and shot a short video of it in the wind. Here’s a screen grab of a frame.… Continue reading

Linda LeBlanc, San Francisco Realtor

Linda LeBlanc Selling a property on one coast from the other coast is not an easy task. Linda LeBlanc was the realtor that worked with us to sell our San Francisco condo while we were in Atlanta. Linda was stunning! I can not recommend her enough! She is the most efficient and communicative realtor we have ever worked with, no… Continue reading

Our Transportation Needs: Electric vs Hybrid Vehicles; Ownership vs Subscription

American Cars ’67 Ford Falcon: My first car! When I was a young kid I had a Ford and then a Plymouth. After my family’s experience with American-made cars, I swore that, as an adult, I would never again own an American car brand. American cars were crap cars–junk that wasn’t innovative or in the least bit reliable. Nissan MuranoAcura… Continue reading

Beating Back the Allergies

The Allergies As I have aged, my allergies have become worse and worse. I’ve had them since childhood. It’s a genetic thing. My father would sneeze about 20 sneezes in a row for no reason. His mother did the same thing. I, however, took the sneezing ritual to a whole new level of “simplified sophistication.” About 8 years ago I… Continue reading

One of Our Favorite Atlanta Restaurants

EATaliano has delicious food, good music (weekends often feature a live soloist or small group), and good service. Their quality is consistent. They also have a delivery service within a certain distance of their restaurant. I also personally love the decor of the restaurant which prominently features a couple of large pictures. I’m talking wall-sized photos. With the tables and… Continue reading

Review: Lumos Kickstarter Bicycle Helmet

I blogged about my new electric scooter, the Unagi, at this link and this link. I love it! But I failed to mention another gadget I got for the purposes of riding my scooter: my new Lumos Kickstarter Bicycle Helmet. I’m convinced that wrecking (or being run over by a car) while riding on my scooter is what will either… Continue reading
