Cheesecakes are a perennial favorite. They are creamy, sweet, fluffy or dense, tinged with flavorings as exotic as anise or as familiar as chocolate, and are universally loved by almost everyone. In fact, cheesecakes have been made from time immemorial. This book takes a sampling of some of the very best purveyors of that creamy, unctuous dessert around the greater Tampa Bay area and provides a short travelogue of sorts to pique the curiosity and stir the imagination of the gourmand traveler, especially those who know the finest cheesecakes. It is, of course, impossible to cover all establishments that offer these marvels of seductive delicacy; but just enough of a representative to hopefully stir some further passion.

All is poetry, and all speaks to us in the muted tones of seduction and plaintive cries. Herein lie the words, the unspoken emotions and expressions of one; the images that would not lend to speaking; and the expressions of an intimate soul.

How do you define morality? More importantly, is morality relevant in our secular, harried lives? Morality has little to do with religion or church or strict requirements for a so-called "clean" life; morality is the glue that binds us all as a unified community; it is the social grease that enhances our relationships with each other, and through those relationships permits us to live peacefully, to give of ourselves, and by extension, enhance our own lives.
