Another BIG interest is FOOD! My hubby and I had a restaurant for two years, it was the coolest place, in Carmel-by-the-Sea, we were the first to put on live reggae and blues shows in town, they had banned live music for 60 years (they thought it would bring freaks to town)and then realized the town was drying up, so they allowed it. We rocked the little village silly. Went out of biz tho, not enough cabbage. Jerome is working on his food site, called Le Chefinier(myspace.com/lechefinier)...Jerome is simply the best. Also, thought some would like to know that my step father was the GREAT MOTIVATOR, INSPIRATOR: Earl Nightingale, visit my mom, author and speaker and wonderfulness: Diana @ www.earlnightingale.com if you don't already know who he was and what he did...
