    What Are You Reading

    Pie Any Means Necessary Sorry not trying to be political. I started reading this little jem again after Doran's mentioning of a French intellectual I wasn't familiar with. I was trying to remember this guy's name. "When I discover a new shade of grey I feel ecstatic" Long Live the...

    Let's See Your Vintage Inspired Office!

    Freud's office While not the traditional office, his office ruled! Also check out H.L. Menkens office. The real problem, imho, is concealing the nasty computer. You may want to invest in an almost-antique roll top desk and a drill for the cords. A pain but well worth it.

    Gardens vegetable, flower or other?

    Yes, the rare stir fry. I think I over-stir fried my husband years ago so now it's strictly a garden oriented event. It's funny, The bok choi really wasn't bitter at all, like they say spinach and stuff gets, when it bolts.

    What Are Your Exercise Programs?

    Thank you that is helpful, because right now I do run a rather spaztic 9.5 min mile when I probably should slow down and alter things a bit. I feel like if I just don't get it overwith I'll drop, and then suffer the embarrassments of having to hobble home. Being in better cardio shape is...

    Fashion fads we love to hate

    In ladies fashion a few years ago, there was a big push for these odd, knee length "shorts" for the office, in tweeds and in suiting fabrics. You were supposed to wear them with tall boots. Yuck! I can't bring myself to find a photo of an example. In my head I called them "the new urban...
