One of the Eden House’s favorite groups to give to each monthly is the Fugees. Take a few minutes and read what they are all about and I am sure you will agree. I read about them in Sports Illustrated several years ago and was bitten. Amazon is donating 6% of what you purchase from Amazon to the Fugees. It doesn’t cost you extra penny to donate – DA. I do lots of my shopping […]
Just a block from the Eden House, Old Town Bakery is rapidly becoming one of my favorite Key West lunch spots. I am trying to stay away from the desserts and that is tough there. This is a photo of a lunch a couple of days past. Turkey sandwich on fresh baked dark rye bread, pickle soup (don’t scoff) and a Mexican Coke (bottled in Mexico using cane sugar). A heavenly combination of flavors. The […]
Just got word from Alex Rutledge/Tom Corcoran that in his own words has gone over to the other side or digital to be exact. For you kindle-iets ck it out. Your adoring friend, Mike Eden

I’ve only passed through Memphis but the book I’m reading makes me want to head that way and soak up some of their culture (is Bar B-Q culture?). The Book is ‘It Came From Memphis’ by Robert Gordon. Here are a couple quotes from the book. Lash LaRue says in a soft voice, ” I have no home in the universe. I am hunted by the police of Jupiter and the police of Earth. My […]
Not you personally, your laundry soap. Colleen has been bugging me for years to cut back on the laundry detergent and now this. I’m not sure which irritates me the most, her being right or me being wrong. According to this article I have been using way too much soap – figures. But it is the American way, isn’t it? More is better? The reciept for making your own soap is interesting. Any thoughts on […]
Here are a couple quotes that I would like to share with you. “Fanaticism consist of redoubling your effort when you have forgotten your aim.” George Santayana, quoted in Esquire “After one look at this planet, any visitor from outer space would say, ‘I want to see the manager’.” William S. Burroughs quoted in Wired “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.” Albert Einstein quoted in Forbes.com Just a little somthing […]
Elizabeth is back in the saddle and this means time for another blog. She just ran across this great deal on flights from Washington, DC to key West round trip. $218 for the flight and with Elizabeth’s special for September how can you go wrong…don’t answer that. Check it out and hope to see you by the pool this summer. Still no oil and counting. Mike
The Bradster just popped through his first two teeph. He is resting easier and has resumed taking calls. The new teeph are on the bottom gum and Elizabeth has noticed gnaw marks on his bassinet. She suspects he is planning to make a break for it. Brady and family are heading to a family reunion in North Carolina and then on to the college world series for a game on Father’s Day. Does it get any […]

Dennis Hopper was one of my favorites. Here are some TV commercials by da man. I think those for NFL are over the top. What do you think? One of my favorite movies with him is “Flashback” with Kiefer Sutherland. If you were one of the ‘flower children’ or ‘space cadets’ back in the ’70’s you might enjoy it. That is if you can remember the ’70’s. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HU8gvF6WCIk&NR=1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dB4rsn8rJYM&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HieM90Rej1s&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cw80fkHb1mU&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cEgCFtmnnQ&feature=related The F […]
The Rolling Stones just released some of the songs that ended up on the cutting room floor when they originally released the album in May, 1972. The original album was 18 songs and is to this day is one of my all time favorites chunks of music. Needless to say, the 70’s were a very special time for me – we thought it would never end. I still think it was the all time best […]
