Turkey - February 2012

On assignment in Turkey in February I was able to spend time in the capital of Ankara and learn of Ataturk.  His story is remarkable - a man ahead of his time.  Then onto the markets of Istanbul...the center of the world where East meets West.  Bringing home the most expensive spice in the world "saffron" from Iran was an experience all on it's on...haggling in the Spice Market...getting a lesson from a gentleman whose family has been selling it for generations...and then the weighing and sealing.  I bought three grams for about $50.00 Canadian.  You should taste Scoopette's rice now!    Scoop. 

Scoop returns with movie reviews: Cloud Atlas & Argo

We went to Argo yesterday. Last weekend we saw Cloud Atlas.  I would recommend Argo over that complex and "mystical" borefest in which everyone played multiple roles at nausea   Then there was the baby talk! disguised as an evolved (devolved) language.  Perhaps an over simplification but only a linguistics major might embrace this approach that I am sure every parent with toddlers found familiar.


Re Argo, thankfully Ben Affleck role was very stoic which prevented his challenges connecting with an audience from taking away from a good story and a well directed ride.  Listen, hang around long any team long enough and despite your role, bat boy or pitcher, and eventually you will seem to belong and perhaps collect a World Series ring whether you are the bat boy or pitcher!!


Scoop is back!
