    Some of my favorite quotes: Eat Well, Love Deeply, Laugh Hard. Live Well, Love Often, Laugh Much. "It is a curious paradox, that I cannot explain. Who understands the secret of the reaping of the grain; who understands why spring is born of winter's labouring pain. Or why we all must die a bit....before... read full entry »

    You can find me...
    You probably can't, I'm a hard person to get hold of! :)
    Surprising fact about me...
    I used to hang in the same crowds with people like Denis Leary and Mario Cantone when I was younger, though I doubt either of them would remember me at this point. I am madly in love with the islands of the Caribbean even though I'm a diehard New Yorker now.
    Favorite band growing up...
    I love music, I can't pick a favorite
    Last good book I read...
    I'm an avid reader, it changes regularly
    My favorite drink...
    Ketel One Martini, VERY dry, up with olives (and my fave restaurants all know it and start making it as soon as I come in)
    Favorite website...

    I agreed to try a sample of PureVia that was sent to me and I'm glad that I did.  I like some things like my coffee sweet but I try to avoid ingesting too much sugar so I find PureVia a good alternative to sugar.  It dissolves easily which is a plus.  Unfortunately, I did find it to have a bit of an aftertaste.  Some reviewers don't seem to notice, but I did.. It was not unpleasant, but it was there,  It didn't didn't stop me from using it but I feel it's something I should mention as you might need to adjust to it if you use it in place of sugar and I could see how some people wouldn't...

    Tina,

    I read with horror your terrible experience with eBags in December '07. I represent a really great ecommerce travel goods and business case site, www.thesassytraveler.com. They have a great selection as well and stand by their promotions and customer satisfaction.

    If you like, you can contact me at jimgoff@thesassytraveler.com.
