“Close Cover Before Striking”

Like the book of matches says, “close cover before striking”. Well, “set down before reading.” This article will blow your socks off as well as the doors. Push on through to the other side. Esquire is one of my favorite magazines and the price ain’t bad either – $8 for 12 monthly issues (lots of lists too). December is my favorite issue, which includes the BEST & BRIGHTEST 2009. If you have the time and […]

It all comes back to the music

Yep, the music. Walked through the lobby today and caught J.J. Cale’s, ‘Crazy Mama’ from his album/CD, “Naturally” (1971). Does it get any better than that? Moving on to the topic at hand, Paste Magazine. I used to get this magazine in the hard copy and loved it. Now I get it digitally and love it even more. Check out this site for a plethora of music, video and movie information and lots of worthless […]

You Pick Up The Poop?

I have been criticized from the powers that be that my blog is often inappropriate and/or irreverent. Well, here I go again. Last night I was out walking my daughter’s dog, Detroit and I had a brain fart. Should I be picking up Detroit’s poop in a plastic bag or a biodegradable bag? Should I be putting his poop in a bag that will outlive me (fossilized poop) or an environmentally appropriate bag? I rushed […]

The Hits Just Keep Comin’

As promised – John Frinzi’s latest CD, “Shoreline”.  John  has just released it and it is a ‘keeper’ (ain’t throwing this one back).  Tom Corcoran co wrote several of the songs, adding to his bag of tricks.  You can listen to the cuts and purchase the disc from CD Baby within the next month (I hope/think). The music sounds like it was wafting through the streets of Key West in the 70″s.  John will be […]

Cafe Azur to Franchise?

We, at the Eden House are saddened to hear that Michael, Drew and Azur will be moving on.  For the month of September that is.  Yes, the boys are taking off the month of September to recharge their batteries and come up with some new ideas to make Azur even better.  I can’t imagine how….let’s wait and see.  Boys, keep the lavender creme brule on the menu or circle the wagons.  Have a nice vacation and […]

Mr. Clean comes through again!

Mr. Clean is one happening dud. His Magic Eraser that is. Has anyone out there ever used these squirrelly little things and/or have an opinion on them? They are white 3 by 5 inch sponge objects and are amazing. Go with the PRO model, they last much longer. The commercial says ‘three times longer’. Just wet them and your dreams have been answered. You can clean canvas, leather, sports shoes, walls and on and on […]

Push on through to the other side

Now for a walk into the unknown. I am trying to intrigue you to read on. Has it worked? Flower essences is where I am going with this note. My sister-in-law, Carolyn Eden, has been preparing flower essences for many years and I have taken them off and on for at least five years. If you are at a crossroad in your life and things seem a bit jumbled you might consider giving Carolyn a […]

Any questions send an email or […]

Konkin’ In

Next time you are on the computer doing nothing, and have tired of listening to my juke box, check out the newest radio station in Key West – Konk AM. This will remind you of the uniqueness of the island. Talk radio with a plethora of characters. http://www.konkam.com/

Music From Eden

Post by on May 29, 2009

JD is a DJ on Radio Margaritaville Wednesday through Sunday 1 to 5 PM. A while back JD did a live feed from room 301. Possibly his best show ever. Self centered you say? He also DJs in the Orlando area if you are ever in need of some tunes. Drop me a line and I get in touch with Mr. JD Spradin, the music man.
