(Paraphrased from several articles- see main link below)
President-elect Barack Obama has yet to attend church services since winning the White House earlier this month, a departure from the example of his two immediate predecessors.
On the three Sundays since his election, Obama has instead used his free time to get in workouts at a Chicago gym. [...]

For the past year I’ve been seeing the SUPER skinny jeans making a comeback on guys (it’s funny how fashion definitely gets recycled- I remember these jeans looking mildly cool on The Ramones or Mick Jagger quite awhile aga…)

I have a new fashion tip for all you “hipsters” wanting to wear the latest in fashion- Asymetric Shoes! Yes, that’s right, each shoe is a different color, may be same design, or different, on each foot. What’s really nice about this fashion statement, is when you can’t decide if you want to [...]

I was not joking in my last post about Ma Petit- I fully intend to exercise their menu to the extreme, and after eating breakfast there today, I was tempted back to try a pasta dish this evening. So I go there about 4:20pm (remember, I’m in bed by 8pm, at least to start [...]

On my 8am White Dog walk around City Hall, the steps were already full of protestors, and there were 2 stages set-up [...]

White Dog eyes my new sheets and comforter with a mischievous look…
I finally had to break down and buy another set of sheets and a new comforter- all the bedding I own has holes in it, thanks to White Dog and her aquired taste for linens. I always buy bedding on-line, but this time [...]

I asked LA Lola for an update on her new puppies- remember just a few weeks ago she adopted an older dog thinking she would have a nice mellow terrier-mix and then she ended up with the “seven-for-one” special when her newly adopted Nina gave birth to six puppies. Who can resist pictures of [...]
