I just got offered a free subscription to nytimes.com "courtesy of Lincoln" for the rest of the year. I wonder if I'll have to watch a Lincoln ad every day.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Just looked at my numbers, well they are at least going in the right direction. LDL down 6 and total cholesterol down 8. Hdl up 8.

So just do more of what you're doing?
I think I broke my sister with Rebecca Black's Friday.

That dress is stunning! I wish there were better pictures.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I have to keep retrieving my dad's hand drill, with its flat, painted wooden knob and gear handle, from H's toolbox. It sits under the lamp, along with a wooden hand plane. Elsewhere are the sad iron with the mechanically detaching wooden handle, on its own cast iron trivet, and a wooden coffee grinder with iron cup, burr, and fancy curvy crank handle. Old tools and implements--especially wood and iron, where the wood has been shaped and polished by decades of touch and the iron has an earned patina--are beautiful, and deserve display between use. Okay, the iron has seen use with us only as a bookend, but that's still *use*. I would not want to live in a closetful of them, however.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
My issue with the mall hair is NOT the bigness, it's the untamed frizziness of it all.
Untamed? They worked HARD for that halo. Not a single hair touching another and sticking out at a 90% angle from the head was an ART FORM!
I know all malls look alike to some degree, but I swear I recognize that one girl from High School. This thing is giving me flashbacks. Was all the world suburban NJ in 1990?

Any thoughts on the new wonder woman costume?
Also, I love Ewan on a bike with a dog (and an adorable sweater/pea coat combo!)

Because books.
I saw that earlier today, Kat, and my first thought was BOOBIES.
Also, Adrienne Palicki is SO pretty, and the hair and the makeup there really aren't doing her any favors.
