You See Banana, I See Potassium: Whose reality is more real? Part IBanana is my least favorite fruit – I prefer juicy ones – but I eat it for the potassium kick, especially important during ski season.
Of course, I don’t “see” potassium, but that’s what the yellow stick signifies to me. In truth, I much prefer Michael Pullen’s notion of eating “food,” – from his In Defense Of Food: An eater’s manifesto – not “protein,” “omega-3,” or “potassium” for that matter.

Solo Traveler: Lost in Translation
Solo TravelerOn my first day in the Cappadocia region of Turkey, I went to Ürgüp to buy some hiking boots.
It was well after lunchtime when I found a nice restaurant with an outdoor patio. I ordered grilled chicken on salad that came, in the usual Turkish fashion, with a basket of delicious fluffy white bread.
The restaurant had a powerful Wi-Fi signal, and since I was the only person with a device, it was screaming fast. Sometimes I’m glad I splurged on an iPad, but at other times I have been disappointed in it. It never quite did all that I expected,
