I love chocolate and have a very "sweet tooth" - so on a recent trip to Charleston I had to visit Market Street Sweets, South Carolina's extension of Georgia's River Street Sweets.
Market Street Sweets is situated in the old Market area of Charleston and ideally located to appeal to tourists and visitors. Their friendly staff offer samples of their wickedly tempting chocolates and fudge and after a quick taste, I was hooked!
Their chocolates are really delicious, especially the Chocolate Bear Claws - mounds of luscious milk chocolate, creamy caramel and chopped nuts. Their Praline, rich with sugar, cream and giant pecan halves, are equally decadent and irresistible, and are especially good served warm.
Fortunately they ship around the world, so even though I'm back in Los Angeles I'll still be able to enjoy these delicious candies.

President Barack Obama has won the Nobel Peace Prize for "extraordinary efforts to to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples" - BBC News
I believe this is a great day for President Obama and all Americans.
The world has acknowledged that President Obama's "diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world's population".
Head of the Nobel Committee, Thorbjoern Jagland, said that President Obama was awarded the prize less than a year after he took office because the committee "would like to support what he is trying to achieve".
Americans should value the fact that our country can once again hold its place as a respected member of the world community as a result of President Obama's engagement with the rest of the world.
This award enhances the importance and vision of the work that he is doing.
"CONGRATULATIONS" President Obama.

This is a first for me ....
I'm writing a blog, 37,000 feet in the air in an A320 Jet, flying Virgin America from Los Angeles to Washington.
This is awesome.
The in-flight internet connection (called Gogo) is incredibly fast and is even quicker than my high-speed connection in my office and home. Checking my email realtime while flying on a plane is amazing. I've even received a faxed document (PDF) that I've forwarded to another agent and attorney .... This technology is mind-boggling!
Now I'll order some more champagne and continue to enjoy the flight ....

West Hollywood Condos
West Hollywood (Weho)
An incorporated city in Los Angeles County, California (1984).
The City is bordered on the north by the Hollywood Hills, on the east by the Hollywood District of Los Angeles, on the west by the city of Beverly Hills, and on the south by Melrose & the Beverly Center area. West Hollywood is recognized as a leading community in gay and lesbian rights.
The heart of the gay and lesbian community is Santa Monica Boulevard, a pedestrian-friendly street filled with many outdoor cafes, bars & clubs, bookstores & boutiques. West Hollywood has an abundance of upscale condo communities and is home to many celebrities.
West Hollywood's southern border is Melrose Avenue, which is emerging as the trendy new shopping area in Los Angeles (between San Vicente and Crescent Heights). The street is home to exclusive clothing stores like Fred Segal, Diesel and Marc Jacobs and speciality stores like Mel & Rose (fine wines and imported foods), and Waterworks (luxury bathroom fixtures & accessories), to name a few. The area between Fairfax and La Brea is more ecclectic with edgy and unique stores.
