After all at 39 my tastes aren&#39;t going to change, are they? <br />My trepidation began this morning when I listened to my partners voice mail. You see I like to be in control, and today he gets to chose which direction the journey winds. In a voice that sounded all most gidy he tells me &quot;to get ready for a day of sweet wine and stinky cheese.&quot; So, you see this is where my goose bumps get goose b [...] Specialtslisa@aol.com Wed, 25 Jun 2008 00:00:00 +0100 wine Roseville placeropolis life inspiration growth Gold Country Families fun food feeling good dining culture Community http://www.auburnbuzz.com/component/option,com_myblog/show,MANDELA.html/Itemid,90/ Very much enjoyed watching the movie Mandela and de Klerk, the story of&nbsp; Nelson Mandela played by the wonderful Sidney Poitier and Michael Caine as F.W. de Klerk.&nbsp; Of course the acting is excellent and the story is riveting and what a relief:&nbsp; No profanity or nudity.&nbsp; Unfortunately, because of the nature of apartheid/segregation, violence was depicted in a graphic manner--all offset by the stimulating conversations of Mandela and de Klerk in their attempts to end the violence [...] loy@foothill.net Sun, 23 Mar 2008 19:25:56 +0100 inspiration human potential entertainment culture http://www.auburnbuzz.com/component/option,com_myblog/show,TRANSITIONS-IN-AUBURN.html/Itemid,90/ <p>It is being said by many that 2008 is the beginning of great change/shift;

I confess to my choice to fall into eating animals in the abstract; but I do see myself shifting more and more away from such and toward fish (OK, I know these were once living creatures).&nbsp; I do, however, have a great love and appreciation for those creatures of the wild including a pair of undomesticated felines and a miniature parrot and it pains me when I see brightly featured in the Sacramento Bee, photos of women holding the wild creatures of [...] loy@foothill.net Sat, 02 Feb 2008 11:03:37 +0100 nature culture http://www.auburnbuzz.com/component/option,com_myblog/show,MAGIC-IN-MOVIES.html/Itemid,90/ Just enjoyed very much a movie titled The Gunfighter with Gregory Peck and while this&nbsp;tale is one of violence, I enjoyed the story which is depicted by the great Peck and guess what?&nbsp; This wonderful film is in black and white, has minimum killing, little graphic depiction of the violence, no profanity and yet the message is clear:&nbsp; Violence begets violence and man has a choice.&nbsp;
