Today’s WSJ had a story by Amy Chozick that caught my eye. That’s because it was about the new curviness in Japan’s young women. Apparently, the stores and designers there have caught up with the US, and the old style of kimonos that flatten the bosom are being replaced with […]
Today’s a gorgeous day with the resulting smiles on all the faces of people I’ve seen. I took a road trip on a long and winding Route 9 all the way to North Brookfield. I passed sad little towns on the periphery of the world, towns like Ware and Brookfield […]
Today is a big day for a little guy named Nathaniel Javier Cosme. He turns two years old, and this is the day of his big birthday celebration! This little guy has been a light in my life, making me feel so happy to be blessed with his formidable presence. […]
You have probably heard of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Well in July, a Swiss organization will announce the results of the election to determine the New 7 Wonders of the world. I found out about this on ETurbo News, which reported on the Egyption government’s refusal to […]
Don’t you love it when you have a great book to read? A book that you look forward to every time you pick it up? I have such a book that came to me from our friends at Motorbooks. They publish a huge catalog full of books on all sorts […]
This beautiful little espresso maker is for sale. To a good home. We used this Bezzera for one year til we upgraded to a two-headed Mazza machine. So stop by and see what you can buy to make espresso at home.

I am blogging from the street, outside the GoNOMAD Cafe. The temps are sort of warm, not embracing, yet the sun is shining. I had a moment of solidarity today, corresponding with Sean Keener of Bootsnall about a type of ad that was proposed to run on our site. They’re […]
Troy McCullough writes in the Baltimore Sun about a new magazine for an unlikely audience. “An old-fashioned trade publication for bloggers? Seriously? The new Blogger & Podcaster magazine – “for aspiring new media titans” – has met with a tepid response from a lot of those titans. Some were sure […]
A favorite customer of ours at the cafe named Tim drops by his copy of the Aircraft Owners and Pilot’s Association magazine, called the AOPA Pilot. I have always been intrigued with flying and with aircraft, so I gave it a skim. Very light jets are the new buzzword in […]

He’s installing a big new 220 volt circuit to accommodate….drum roll please…our New Huge Deluxe Cappuccino maker. Tomorrow Marco from Sacuzzo Coffee, of West Hartford, will arrive with the behemoth […]
