    Tomorrow's Vintage

    I'm keeping CDs from local bands I dance to. I want to remember my dancing days.

    Getting by during the Great Depression

    That's what I recall her saying. It's possible that my memory or hers is off. [huh]

    Getting by during the Great Depression

    Years ago, a neighbor told me about how her family fared during the Depression: her father was a certified public accountant and drove a new Mercedes. That was one factor in my decision to work in the accounting field.

    Summer is over... ...when you wear your winter coat to work, as I did today.

    You know that summer really IS over when...

    When you stop mentally calculating the risk vs. reward of sleeping with the windows open.

    You know that summer really IS over when...

    When you can sleep without the roar of fans. When you don't have to exercise in an 82-degree room. When flowers in pots don't wilt if they go a day without water. When you can take a walk at lunch without sweating.

    would you live back in time?

    No. I need my medicine (recently patented) and my parents need theirs. It would be expensive to talk long-distance with my best friend. I'd probably be able to put my engineering degree to better use than I have in this time--if anyone would hire a woman for that job. Maybe it would be easier to...

    The Ration Book Diet

    Midafternoon is time for a snack. Try taking half a sandwich or a couple of low-fat string cheese sticks and an apple with you--it's better for you than a candy bar and Coke. ETA: Having a candy bar and a Coke once a week certainly won't hurt you (assuming you're not diabetic).

    Swing music question. Western

    My aunt danced with Spade Cooley one night. She and my uncle went to the Palladium in LA, but she was too young to get in. They went somewhere else (I can't recall where) and Cooley was playing. She and Cooley danced two songs there, and my uncle decided that was enough.

    You looked so fabulous that I'm sure the ex heard about it.

    Radio Actor/Actress Performances

    It was years ago. I wonder if it was something like "The Telltale Heart" or "The Cask of Amantillado."

    The Ration Book Diet

    Overindulging is a natural instinct. On Body for Life, you get one free day per week--you eat all you want of anything you want. It does a few things: it gives you some freedom to eat your favorite foods, it lets your body know it doesn't need to go into starvation mode, and it reminds you of...

    The Labor Day Rule

    Manolo's take on White Shoes after Labor Day The opinion of Manolo the Shoeblogger: Yes, the thousand times, yes! You may wear the white shoes even into the fall. And, each year, the Manolo gives the same justification, that whether or not one wears white shoes is entirely about...

    Radio Actor/Actress Performances

    I usually don't like radio programs, but I happened to catch one in the car. Peter Laurie was on. It was so creepy that I actually listened to it.

    The Labor Day Rule

    It's still hot here after Labor Day. Most Christmases, it's warm enough to wear a t-shirt; there are days in August when it's cold enough for a wool sweater. I just go by the weather.

    The Ration Book Diet

    For me, things that are meant to be cooked (chicken stock, soup, garlic paste, sardines) are fine from a can. So are acidic things that don't have to be cooked very long (peaches, tomatoes, pears, pickles).

    The Ration Book Diet

    Sauteed fresh spinach with nuts and currants is great. Canned spinach is an abomination.
