Um, I eat like this all the time. Single, no kids, and I eat less for breakfast (also note this plan includes no coffee or orange juice, which are not negotiable for me). Perfectly sensible. Simple. ...

I think Nickels would actually be more effective nationally, where he would have a competent staff of professional bureaucrats to hash things out, than he is here-- which is not to say that he doesn't...

ABN-- anyone but Nickels. Good grief I'm tired of that man and his developer-happy stylings. Don't know if you've read this yet, but it's right on: http://sableverity.wordpress.com/2008/11/20/the...

SQUEE! I do the same thing! It's just so freakin' nice to caress the word "President", to imbue it with respect and honor for the first time in my life (and I was Of Age in the Clinton era but this ...

Does the fact that the bird is actually a heron, not a crane, change your appreciation for the photo at all? (Nah... it's still a beautiful symphony of color and calm...)...

I'm an Old Fashioned girl, myself. Anything you can put bourbon and maraschino cherries in is aces with me. Much better in wintry and autumnal weather, but I've been known to knock them back in the ...

Thank you for posting this. I have season tickets for SAL and adore Richard Russo ("Straight Man"! Awesomeness!) but I had a totally star crossed day yesterday and ended up leaving my ticket at home...

I'm turning 33 this month. Does that mean I should think about leaving Seattle soon or risk maxing my "sell by" date? Clearly they're not weighing factors like "Willingness to strike up a conversat...

@srsly: Thanks for the hot mac-n-cheese tip. I have a mac-n-cheese blog with a friend so whenever I go out, if there's mac-n-cheese on the menu, I get it. Whym's mac did not rock my world. Effete ...
