Have you heard of the NO-CARB Diet for 2004?

NO C-heney
NO A-shcroft
NO R-umsfeld
NO B-ush

and "Absolutely NO RICE!"

This is a diet that will take you successfully through the next election.

Yesterday's Parks event was a ribbon cutting at Police Officer Reinaldo Salgado Playground in Bedford-Stuyvesant. It was for a new synthetic turf ballfield, replacing an asphalt one. Definetely a good thing for all the kids who will be using it.

Got up early this morning and watched "The Last Samurai." Lots of exciting battle scenes and an engrossing historical epic of Japan's transition in the late 19th Century. And yeah, Tom Cruise was good too.
