The Soothsayer
By definition, a soothsayer is:

One who claims to be able to foretell events or predict the future; a seer.

In truth, I am not a trendsetter or a soothsayer, but I have eyes and I love to see how the past and present informs the future. Come look around with me.

"No, I am not putting you on the Rice Diet. Eat what you like. I am thinking of you, student in your dorm room. You, solitary writer, artist, musician, potter, plumber, builder, hermit. You, parents with kids. You, night watchman. You, obsessed computer programmer or weary web-worker. You, lovers who like to cook together but don’t want to put anything in the oven. You, in the witness protection program. You, nutritional wingnut. You, in a wheelchair."
Roger Ebert, from The Pot and How to Use It. I’m thinking of you, Roger.
