Yep both have passed, really sad. Not much more to say today.

Last evening I spent with my pal Tom at his place making music. Sounded great. We are going to get together once a week to work on some more stuff. Here is a shot from last night.

Call me this weekend if you want to do the Octoberfest at Deuche Zentrale. We are heading out there around 7pm.

Be sure to check out the Photo Journal and the Silliness Section. Once there u can see how my sister reacts to me, and what I did today at lunch. Sorry for the lapse in time on the PJ, but I am busy getting ready for Hong Kong.

Special Edition from HK will be in a few weeks, I will be sure to get the site up and running soon, so I can post while in HK. I can not wait, danmerk.com antics in HK. They have beer there right? Oh well, I am sure I will be able to tie one on. ;) More to come...

Oh I forgot, congrats to my other sister for moving back to Cleveland, and finding a temp job at Luna in Akron. There she is finishing up her degree, and serving up tasty meals part time. Love ya NIK! ;)

Another bowl of food. Again eating out of a bowl is so nice. Today I am eating AFC Baked Tofu and a tomato. I al washing it all down with a cup of soup. YUM.

Lately I have been so exhausted. I can only stay up until 11pm at the latest before I fall into a trance. I have never experienced this before where I get totally pooped before 1am. I wonder if this is my blood pressure reacting to me kicking the tobacco habit. Since the pressure is way down, and I may be experiencing some adjustments.

This Friday will mark 7 weeks without a hogleg. Not bad for a guy that has been using for 10 years. (Gross habit!)

Nothing like sitting down to a great meal during a hectic day at the studio served up in nothing better than a great big bowl! You read right, a bowl. For some reason I have been fascinated how food tastes served in those half sphere shaped wonders. Soups, salads, fruit, veggies, and even bean curd.

Today's meal will defiantly be served up in next months' new section which will be recipes specifically designed from the danmerk.com archives. I had 3 ingredients, 1 avocado, 1 tomato, and one block of AFC Baked Bean Curd purchased from the local Asian market here in Cleveland. (I swear by this stuff, this is a must for you non tofu eaters, will change your life; like when I was introduced to Logan Berry Punch at IKEA)

To share the same experience, take a large bowl, place the sliced avocado inside. Cut up the tomato, then place alongside the avocado. Then take the AFC goodness, and slice in strips (for dipping) on the top. Then I top with simply Kosher Salt, and ground pepper. Then I usually add a dollop of Cleveland's own Stadium mustard.(zero calories, zero carbs, zero everything but tons of flavor!)

By the time I return to my desk, this bowl has grown a stronger marriage than most Americans in just 5 min. I usually eat with my favorite spoon here at the mother ship, but today I used my fingers. I am grinning from ear to ear baby!

This week will be aggressively working on the new site. DLB will have her won section, along with others that are interested in being apart of this new world we are working on. I can not wait. The concept is great, and I am very excited that I have a special someone to work with me on this. Thanks DLB!!!
