conversion experience

"i walked into fog city news . . . and ended up a chocolate snob."

with a sliver of richard donnelly's dark bar with chinese 5 spices in her mouth, i understand what happened to her. the blinding light, the pounding in the ears, the buckling in the knees -- as long-time readers know, richard's chocolate is that good.

in fact, i can't resist eating one of his orange-flavored chocolate "slices" this very moment. . . .yummmm.

since food trends tend to move from california slowly on to new york, i'm hoping we will soon see this kind of chocolate appreciation wash over us here.

in other news, people have written about how the web has empowered iranian women. so i was interested to read the tale of one iranian woman's winter vacation and her deep affection for her yoga class. her group has been studying asana together for 5 years now, she writes.

this is the kind of personal voice we would never get to know without the internet. . .there's something hopeful about it. . .
