As Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations returns, I’m going to try an experiment this season. I’m going to (gulp) try the old fashion cliché of “showing” instead of telling. The news season kicks-off with a trip Haiti, a country dealing with a cholera epidemic and an impending hurricane. During his trip, Bourdain meets with super-actor and social activist. Sean Penn in the tent city built by his relief group. At the end of his trip, Bourdain is unsure of what the future will hold for Haiti. The most telling part of the trip is in this video, which, I am hoping will do the showing that I wish to project.
Watch the link here of Haiti's legendary hotel.

Five Easy Pieces (a quintet of other matters on my mind).
1.) An Egyptian has ordered pizzas for Wisconsin protesters. I love this world.
2.) Writing an essay to the irresponsible Texas House measure directing universities to allow concealed handguns on campus and realizing this thing could do wonders for organ donation. If the occasion arises I would like my baby blues to go to Stevie Wonder.
3.) I have asked precious little from this world, but I ask for a sequel to The Losers. An unapologetic thrill-omedy featuring Jeffrey Dean Morgen (a poor man's Javier Bardem) and the immensely watchable Chris Evans should not go down in B- movie history as a singular happening.
4.) O.J. Mayo to the Pacers…ALMOST ARGH! All we needed was one proven shooter from the outside and…ARGH!!!!!!!
5.) Disappointed Ken Jennings didn't smote IBM's Watson on Jeopardy and drop from exhaustion with his buzzer in hand like a nerdy John Henry. Did you miss me? Nice to be back.
