Week 16: Bumpy's Café oops it's closed! Return to Holy Grill.

We set out to go for breakfast at Bumpy's Cafe on 8th St. SW.  When we finally found it, the lights were out and the door was locked.  As it turns out, they closed the cafe at the end of May this year.

When we were looking for a parking spot we coincidently found one right at the front door of the Holy Grill!  Because we'd already paid for parking and were getting pretty hungry, decided to go in for breakfast.  We were pretty convinced that the empty spot at Holy Grill's front door was some cosmic hint that should have just gone there to begin with!

Our return to the The Holy Grill at their 10th Ave. location was definitely a good decision.  We decided to try the Nicmuffin, fried egg, bacon, cheddar and tomato on an English Muffin and the Wakey Wakey, two eggs, Italian Sausage and their "smash browns" and toast. Both were unique presentations of traditional breakfasts.

The Holy Grill (s) are owned by three brothers, Nicholas, Jonathan and Andrew Yee who grew up around the restaurant business.  Their second location is on the corner of 5th Ave. and 4th St. SW, above Tim Horton's. 

We always look for something unique in each of the places we choose for our breakfast and the Holy Grill does have something very unique to offer.  It's located at street level with large clean windows (you know who you are that don't bother with this important detail) so the street entertainment is close at hand. We also liked the casual atmosphere and the super friendly staff.  The breakfasts are prepared quickly and it's perfect for those who are in a morning rush but also want something nutritious and tasty! Also, there is free parking on the east side of the Cafe.

AND NOW THE BOOK...

This week I chose to re-read a book that I read a few years ago. The book is called The Visionary Window: A Quantum Physicist's Guide to Enlightenment by Dr. Amit Goswami. Recently, the field of epigenetics has caught my interests.  'Epigenetics literally means "above" or "on top of" genetics. It refers to external modifications to DNA that turn genes "on" or "off." These modifications do not change the DNA sequence, but instead, they affect how cells "read" genes'.  References to quantum physics kept showing up and since Amit Goswami is a theoretical nuclear physicist and I happen to have 3 of his books in my library....  Dr. Goswami  calls himself a "quantum activist" so let me allow him to explain what that means.

"To change ourselves and our social institutions, quantum activism uses the power of quantum physics.  To see this, consider that quantum physics is the physics of possibilities.  Quantum thinking gives us back our free will to choose amongst these possibilities.  These choices are discontinuous, breaking us from past habits.  They come from a cosmic interconnectedness we call quantum non-locality, which is an ability to communicate through space and time without any signals."

Spine tingling?  Maybe not but epigenetics and quantum physics?  Be still my heart!!
