Laundry
When one waits eight and a half weeks between laundry "sessions", it really does take a chunk out of the day. But, now I have lots of clean clothes, and I guess I don't have to worry about such things until sometime in February. The clothing

Death by Shopper
Uggh. Check this out. At some Wal-Mart on Long Island a crowd of a couple thousand people waited outside for the store's Black Friday sales. Eventually, the crowd broke into the store by pressing and pounding on the glass doors. Once the doors broke open, they trampled to
Wine: Angeline 2006 Pinot Noir of Sonoma County
The first thing this wine has going for it, is that it's not the Shiraz from yesterday.

Scarves
One of the women in the office wore a scarf today. Not just while she was outside but also inside - all day (so far). A scarf as a part of one's in-door wardrobe is just dumb. If the clothes you're wearing aren't sufficient
Icelandair
My subway rides these days are fairly rare; no longer daily, they tend to be weekly. I don't have nearly as many opportunities to be accosted by stunningly stupid advertisements. And recently I got to see a new one. Icelandair. Their ad touts the short flight time from
