What is art?

·

Thanksgiving has hit and we’ve all gone CRAZY. Individuals devoured upon pounds of turkey, ham, stuffing, mashed potatoes, corn, green bean casserole and pumpkin pie per individual were devoured last week in one of America’s most traditional holidays. That great American weight scale climbed in the numbers last week as we celebrators became extravagant patrons of the culinary arts.

PJs in public?

·

When I wake up in the morning, I am excited to get dressed. As I scrub my hair in the shower and apply my makeup, I think about what I am going to wear. Most days, with the exception of the occasional fat day or the more frequent oh-my-God-I-have-nothing-to-wear day, I look forward to shedding my pajamas and getting ready to face the world looking my best (or at least looking decent).

Letters from Abroad

BOLOGNA, Italy– Venice is one of those cities that you must see before you die. I spent last weekend in the “city of bridges,” and if I die tomorrow, I will have a smile on my face. It was truly one of the best trips of my life.
