Pumpkin introduces the "how-to" of Zen in your home. We'll go from the Zen state-of-mind including sounds, nature, colors and moods to bringing organic pieces into your home. By sticking to clean lines, uncluttered areas, and minimal decor, you too can create a Zen atmosphere in your home. With a special focus on the elements: wind, fire, earth, and water. We also discuss the effect stupid people have on their surroundings. and the overwelming horror of stupid people in numbers!

Oh ya! and we continue to challenge our listeners to give us suggestions for our Road-Trip show!

This weeks cocktail bombed...so if you haven't made it yet DON'T. We admit when we make a mistake, and the Octopus is a bad drink. We decided to whip another cocktail and entitled it "on the spot." Delicious!
