In Vogue with Armpit Flaps

Once in a while, if I’m waiting in the line at the grocery store long enough, like others, I scan the covers of magazines. I glance past Gourmet, Bon Appetit, and Food & Wine, because I have those and others at home in some state of being dissected, stickered and splattered with my latest gastronomical […]

Sunshine and Big Surf

This morning when I popped out of bed… *wait, that was yesterday*
This morning, after I listened to the guy who rants each morning on the radio station the alarm is set on, I got up a bit more slowly than yesterday and went right to the window. I always do this. It’s a strange […]

So much loveliness.
I could be under house arrest and be thoroughly entertained.
You know.

The problem with Apple wireless keyboards…

Divine Simplicity I love the beauty and intelligent design of my Mac — the elegance of pearly white encased in thick, clear plastic; the low silver sheen of the monitor’s wide foot; the transparent case that surrounds the wireless keyboard. So uncomplicated. So simple. So sleek.
Sleek Design
Uh…so it would have been nice to […]

Okay, I kind of like it here. Sometimes.
