The First Tofu Thanksgiving
"Tomorrow you're going to be the one who gets their head chopped off with an axe, plucked, stuffed, cooked and eaten!" Once upon a time there was a little, short girl who loved everything about Thanksgiving except for two things: First there was the gruesome song her teacher made them sing to the tune of London Bridge is Falling Down. Mr. Turkey, run away Run away, run away Mr. Turkey, r

The 1986 Wedding: Rocking the Pouffy Bang, Back Before Vera Wang
According to this morning’s paper, November 22 marks the anniversary of several important events: Edward Teach, aka “Blackbeard,” was killed off of the Virginia coast President John F. Kennedy was assassinated Ravel’s, Bolero was first performed for the first time in Paris Former French president Charles de Gaulle was born Dave and Margo got married in 1986. (OK, this one wasn’t in the newspaper) “Lacy,” “pouffy,” and “modest” were words that epitomized the mid- 1980s wedding. I would say “tasteful” too, but no matter what the era, all brides think they are being tasteful. Only time tells taste.

Postcard from the Edge of Cries and Whispers, or Whatever that Bergman Film was Called
Dave, spousal unit/mysterious airport gift giver, also does his best to send us postcards from many of the destinations which his business takes him. We always learn something. Before, whenever anyone mentioned “Sweden,” I would think of filmmaker, Igmar Bergman, and of ABBA. Now I can add to this short list, the strapping Swedish royal family. That would be some party, wouldn’t it?

Butt Ugly Artwork and Airport Gifts:The Final Analysis

Cynical Taste for Coincidences
My husband, David, known better as “Dave,” got home today after a long business trip to a bunch of foreign countries he’d never been to before. One night, leaving a restaurant in Cape Town, South Africa, a picture being displayed by a street vendor on a busy street caught his eye. Since he hates shopping, this picture must have been very special. His eyes would have certainly passed right over it, except for one salient detail. That this detail didn’t involve a Victoria’s Secret model or American football makes it even more amazing.
