A ring binder full of fresh new paper, and a mechanical pencil. It is truly refreshing to actually write sometimes, instead of typing at a keyboard, and I never thought I’d say that.
A big bowl of oats and almonds and cold milk that was so good for breakfast this morning. I can feel good about eating it too, as it’s healthy stuff. It’s important to enjoy what you eat, for the right reasons.
Some of the new music that I’ve been receiving for the radio station. So many hopes and dreams for many people in there, as well as good music.

The peace and quiet of the early morning, before most of the world has stirred.
My new table top tripod which is just the right size for… my table top.
A bowl of crunchy cornflakes, and almonds, with ice cold milk

09 Dec 07 History Of Chocolate – Part One
The story of chocolate, as far back as we know it, begins with the discovery of America. Until 1942, the Old World knew nothing at all about the delicious and stimulating flavor that was to become the favorite of millions.
The Court of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella got its first look at the principal ingredient of chocolate when Columbus returned in triumph from America and laid before the Spanish throne a treasure trove of many strange and wonderful things. Among these were a few dark brown beans that looked like almonds and seemed most unpromising. There were cocoa beans, today’s source of all our chocolate and cocoa.
The King and Queen never dreamed how important cocoa beans could be, and it remained for Hernando Cortez, the great Spanish explorer, to grasp the commercial possibilities of the New World offerings.
