A little light reading ….

Looking for a quick read? This week’s New Yorker has a comparison of the BBC and NBC versions of the Office (currently, my favorite show). You can read Tad Friend’s article at the New Yorker website. Or perhaps you’d like to read about neurotic hosts, and the lengths they go to so that guests don’t destroy their homes. I felt a lot better about myself after reading “Welcome … Oh, but Don’t Sit There” (nytimes.com). Clearly, I am not the most neurotic person out there, or the NYTimes would have found me. Challenged hosts seem to be the hot topic lately. Domino magazine also featured a fearful host in its December/January issue.

Don’t have time to read, but you’d like a cup of coffee (or tea)? Starbcuks is hosting Cheer Parties at its shops today – call your preferred location for the time. May I recommend my current favorite drink? Brewed chai tea with a top of eggnog: it’s delicious, and addicting. Cheers!
