Ah, the good old days.
Of course, people thought gas was high even then. I love all the articles now about how besieged Americans are coping with high gas prices by [drumroll] not eating out as much. Or by brown-bagging their lunch. Oh, the horror.
Here’s a thumbdrive the Lexus dealer sent me. A Lexus logo on it, how cool is that? I think interesting thumbdrives may be a hot collectible down the road.
I love getting boxes with that “swoosh arrow” in the mail.
So ol’ Ed’s going into foreclosure. Everyone send him a donation, his wife might leave him if her credit cards are declined. 
This is how we store our books:

Oooh, I saw this yesterday. Fun movie, but mostly I just cried, drooled and lusted over the handbags. Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Chanel …they waved those things in my face for 2 1/2 hours. My financial goals of saving money have just been flushed down the toilet. I’m saving for a shopping trip to NY instead. Or maybe I’ll just cash in the kids’ college funds.

So some people think the scarf Rachel Ray is wearing here looks like what the tearrists wear, and Dunkin Donuts pulled the ad. Throw out your scarves, everyone, you don’t want to be mistaken for a tearrist.
I guess no one minded her Thanksgiving holiday wear? I might try this outfit this November myself.
My daughter paid $50 to hear this author speak. Damn, I wish people would pony that up for textbook authors. Think I could hold audience attention with a lecture on drafting floor plans? (who am I kidding …I can’t even hold my students’ attention)
