Buenos Tiempos

My wife and I live very close to this restaurant, which is why I wish I liked it more. Buenos Tiempos is an old time Broomfield tradition, a Mexican restaurant that existed long before we moved here and therefore longer than any other Mexican restaurant I know. Their menu is a mix of “Mexican” food… Continue reading Buenos Tiempos

Bloom

Bloom gets my vote for the best restaurant in Broomfield. They’ve got a very extensive wine list, and top notch food. When Bloom first opened a few years ago, they had stellar service – the kind of delightfully attentive staff that were always there when you wanted or needed them. I’m not talking just about… Continue reading Bloom

I’m back

Well, I’m back in the US now. At the moment, it’s 6:11 AM on Sunday morning. Obviously, I’m not over jet lag yet, since I woke up about 4 AM this morning and couldn’t fall back asleep. So I’m using the quiet time in the dark to catch up on stuff on my laptop. My… Continue reading I’m back

Another Day, Another Shouarma

OK, in all seriousness, I’m not yet sick of shouarma and falafel sandwiches. But I just got back from dinner, and decided I wanted something smaller than the feasts I’ve been getting wherever I go out for meals here in Israel. I found one of the million or so little shouwarma and falafel shacks around… Continue reading Another Day, Another Shouarma

crap!

I just wrote a very good, fairly long blog article about my sightseeing trip to Jerusalem today, and my impressions of how much more Judaism permeates life in Israel than I expected.  I think I spent probably 45 minutes writing it.  But then when I went to save it, the wifi connection in my hotel… Continue reading crap!

first report from Israel

As I write this, it’s 8:20 PM on Tuesday October 9. I’m in my hotel room in Tel Aviv, and am spending a much needed quiet evening at “home” tonight. I just got to my room after having supper. My original goal was to write something of a daily travel journal, but this is my… Continue reading first report from Israel

Nations must fight climate change like terrorism, Rice says – CNN.com

Am I hallucinating?  Did someone slip LSD into my iced tea?  I thought I just saw a news report that said Secretary of State Rice said, “…we must cut the Gordian knot of fossil fuels, carbon emissions and economic activity. This current system is no longer sustainable.” Nations must fight climate change like terrorism, Rice… Continue reading Nations must fight climate change like terrorism, Rice says – CNN.com

for or against network neutrality?

I see a lot on line these days urging people to support “network neutrality“.  Maybe I don’t understand the arguments well enough, but I’ve read what the Save the Internet people have written, and I think I’m still against net neutrality.  Personally, I think differentiated services would be a good thing.  I think it’s perfectly… Continue reading for or against network neutrality?
