Sum­mer brings the rich­est col­ors. Wan­der­ing the farm­ers stands in numer­ous parts of the city one can find organic pro­duce from local farms in both New Jer­sey and Penn­syl­va­nia. This last shop­ping adven­ture brought home water­melon. Ham­mon­ton blue­ber­ries, and these mag­nif­i­cent Jer­sey peaches.

While my Mayor fights city coun­cil which has thwarted his fast track­ing of bicy­cle lanes in Philadel­phia Copen­hagen is build­ing bicy­cle super high­ways. What is wrong with us?

We gave up our car two years ago and walk every­where. Now I’m look­ing to get a more com­muter bike tooled for mak­ing trips around town faster. I walk 2.5 miles to my art stu­dio and I could cut the time trav­eled by about 20 min­utes if I rode my bike.

Today so many sup­pos­edly fab­u­lous cof­fee places serve your cof­fee in paper cups with plas­tic lids. Rub­bish. There is noth­ing in that that is about the true essence of the cof­fee expe­ri­ence. You might as well drink it out of a can.

Next time you are hav­ing a cup, choose the right place and linger at a table with a cof­fee made with care and thought­ful­ness. A place that wouldn’t offer you a paper cup unless you made the mis­take to get it to go.
