Harold and Maude

I went to see Harold and Maude for the first time at the Castro Theater tonight. It was a fantastic film!
There was an interview with Bud Cort after the show. Needless to say, it was awesome.

Quote:
Harold: I love you. I love you!
Maude: Oh, Harold… That’s wonderful. Go and love some more.

Maya Angelou, writer, poet, historian, does an interview to discuss the election of Barack Obama

She recites a bit from her poem And Still I Rise.

“Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I’ll rise.”

From And Still I Rise by Maya Angelou. Copyright © 1978 by Maya Angelou.

Slow Food

I recently become a member of Slow Food.  Slow Food is an idea, a way of living and a way of eating. It is a global, grassroots movement with thousands of members around the world that links the pleasure of food with a commitment to community and the environment. It is about improving health, building community and making sure everyone can eat well.

Like language, food is a foundation of most cultures. In the US we have lost the pleasures and benefits of slow food for the efficiencies of fast food. By such we are loosing our culture and a connection to our community, our family ties to the daily rush. Some of my most pleasurable experience with friends and family is taking time out to dine with them.

I highly recommend checking out Slow Food USA.
