You could watch this for a while. It's a little like bird-watching, only better. You don't need binoculars. You don't feel like a stalker. If you don't have one of your own, now's the time to take a walk and find one. Or Press Play. Borrow mine.

Pineapple-Basil Soda Pop. Much smarter.

There's something about fresh pineapple that a blender turns into a creamy, frothy puree. A puree that bubbles into a big, foamy head when you squirt carbonated water into your glass. A big head on a very smart soft drink. Much smarter than a cola that makes you stupid.

Slightly sweet. Kinda tart. Very little sugar. Great for breakfast. Great for dessert. Lime makes it vibrant. Distinct orange flavor sweetens it. Olive oil keeps it moist and light. Ten minutes to prepare. You really want to try this.

The hike's free. An entire mountain. Yours for the taking. Walks like this are habit-forming. Making exercise a habit gives you the long-term benefit of great health. Have a blast, burn 2,000 calories along the Way and eat great stuff back in town.

Where I live, magnolias only bloom for a week or two, right before Mother's Day. So if you don't have one right in your yard, you really have to go wherever they are. Or you can press play. She can, too.
