Usually I answer a questioned posed, not the reverse, however over the past few months I noticed a disturbing trend in which I have no answer and hoped someone might. Q: I have been dining in the presence of several different woman from different cities, different backgrounds and not so disparaging incomes. These woman are white, 60s-70s in ... read more
Years ago one of my bffs thought we should open a store together - we have similar sensibilities, style and both are entrepreneurial. Owning a store is not playing store however, my real fear is that I wouldn't be able to create an interesting & dynamic space. The kind that not only entices you to buy, but never leave.

If you're are regular reader of my irregular posts, then you've probably surmised that I'm a sucker for candy, hearts and anything that is red or pink which for no other reason is why Valentine's Day is my favorite holiday. Even the years I'm without a sweetheart (but with 2 Bulldogs, am I really?) I still get excited about the aesthetics of the ... read more
