In my last post, I explained that the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is reviewing the application for the commercialization of AquAdvantage salmon -- genetically modified salmon. Although the public at large finds confidence in “FDA approved” products, I discussed why perhaps this...
Spring is in the air, and unmet New Year’s resolutions are nagging in the back of many of our minds. What better time to walk more? We’re not just talking about walking for the sake of exercise. No, we mean actually walking to get somewhere....
It’s not the snow or the basketball that makes March Madness. Denver’s sweet list of social to-dos is sure to put a - ahem - Spring in your step. We start the month out right with a First Friday Art Walk through the Santa Fe Arts...
Every time I go to Mexico City, it seems that a fun new restaurant has opened in my favorite neighborhood, Colonia Roma. This time, acting on a hot tip, I showed up at Maximo Bistrot a few minutes before opening time at 1pm. “Espera” the...
Facing a fast foot of snow, February’s First Friday found us in front of the fireplace. Now Denver’s 20 minutes of cabin fever has worn off and the rest of the month looks fast and furious. Dance and multi-media collide in Ballet Nouveau Colorado’s latest, “Love...

Now I know where the snow gods traveled when they went AWOL around the New Year. They made a beeline for the Alps. For the past several days we have been in Megeve, located in the Haute-Savoie department, Rhone-Alpes region, southeastern France. Megeve started its development as...
Yesterday we did a lot of looking again, this time thinking outside the frame as it were. We were not focused on paintings, but on clothes. My friend and I determined to shop until we dropped. January is the month the government sets for sales. In...
Apres le boeuf, la creme brulee. After the steak, dessert. The Stein Collection for example versus the show at the Musee D'Orsay, "Beaute, morale et volupte dans L'Angleterre d'Oscar Wilde," apologetically about sex and sizzle.
