The Sartorialist

I read a fashion blog (the Sartorialist) that featured this photo. I think this man is ridiculously attractive.
I hope that I age this gracefully.

Wine Tasting Party

Dreams are funny.

Last night in my dream, somebody asked me, "What is the greatest household invention?"

I responded, "Hands down, it's the loofah."

Calling all thoughtful, passionate and connected individuals to apply as leaders in the L.I.F.E program.

This position requires tremendous tolerance for hardened cynics, unflinching determination in the face of aloof adversity, unending patience with the intellectual "superior" and enthusiasm to enliven the safe and dutiful.

The indifferent, blase and lackadaisical need not apply. Tender hearts and knowledge of Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint is a plus.
