the ocean would be less

We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.

going green

For the first time in Honduran history, today more than thirty wind turbines began generating about 68 megawatts of renewable energy, capable of illuminating at least 70,000 typical homes. The company Mesoamerica Energy began testing the wind farm in Cerro de Hula, 24 miles south of Tegucigalpa. The site will eventually host 51 turbines, generating 102 megawatts, and catapulting Honduras into the position of the biggest producer of renewable energy in Central America. The current 68 megawatts represents just 1% of the country's wind energy potential.

looking sharp

We just completed repainting and doing some redecorating of Paya's dining room and the Bliss Bar. This splendid space is looking quite spiffy!

spread love

Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.

that you, freddie?

Is Marc Martel the reincarnation of Freddie Mercury? Suddenly the void that resulted from the transcendence of the original Mr. Mercury doesn't seem as immense. In addition to the remarkably similar voice, Marc's physical resemblance to Freddie is uncanny!

open up the flow of abundance

The ancient Babylonians practiced a vital law that was the cause of their immense prosperity. They used the tithing law, which involves giving one-tenth of all money or riches that you receive. The tithing law says that you must give to receive, and the Babylonians knew that the practice of this law opens up the flow of abundance. If you are thinking, "I will give when I have enough money," then the tithing law says you will never have enough money, because you have to give first. Many of the wealthiest people on the planet tithed their way to wealth, and they have never stopped tithing!

Please pardon me as I luxuriate in delicious schadenfreude. Dan Savage deserves an award for this brilliant move!
