Pillow Talk

   Checking out the conditions at our local ski mountain, I read, "Our groomers will be out laying down corduroy on 69 trails for your carving pleasure." NICE!, I think.  For a minute I imagine SnowCats spreading rolls, like the most automated of...

     The second day of the New Year got off to a good start - Restorative Iyengar yoga in the morning, recommitment to the diet that has been successful in 2012, (no gluten, no dairy, no sugar except sometimes wine) and then to one of my resolutions -...

       I sort of love the day back to work after the holidays. You get to say "Happy New Year!" to everyone for the next few days in your most upbeat voice. You are done with all the frantic celebrating and overconsuming. Even though you...

     It's not an oxymoron to call what we wear here in Vermont "fashion". All apparel can be in a sense called "fashion", and almost everywhere around the world, people wear clothes, so, fashion is everywhere! (This argument was used by a garmento...

     If you could indulge in just one rich-people's perk, a luxury without cost or bad karma, what would it be? For me, it would be a car and driver, hands down. A daily massage would be my second choice, although if I had a car and driver, I don't...
