Doesn't this look fun?

Hi everyone,

It sure is difficult to make time to blog while I work a full time job, entertain continued media requests, and, as of last week, now embark on a new endeavor to open an organic restaurant here in Berkeley over the next 14 months. I'll post more tips soon as well as updates on where this story has gone, where it's going, and what's next.

In the meantime, here is a photo for all of you who have been wanting more pictures. I have also added a few more photos to my photo album on this site.

Happy heart day to all of you. May you find all of the love in the world inside of you, and if you are so lucky, may you share that love with someone else in your life. As my dear friend Tyler Blank recently quoted, "love is not what makes the world go round. It's what makes the ride worthwhile."

Have a wonderful day and check back soon....
