So much to cover today – the odd entry is the telemarketing call I received last night (and I agreed to participate, because generally, I find these calls interesting).  The topic?  Gasoline – and my thoughts about brands of gasoline, and additives.  By the end of the interview, I was really feeling bad for the guy.  I had to tell him over and over that I had no opinion about the “best” gasoline brand.  I tried not to laugh when he asked if I thought a certain brand would make my car run faster.  (Yes, I think X brand will make it so much easier for me to get to 31 mph on the way to Target.)  Beautiful?  Today’s NYTimes House & Home article on kitchens.  The “Something’s Gotta Give” kitchen is still the dream kitchen for many, including myself.  Subway tile!  Black honed granite!  Someday, (unless a better kitchen lures me while I wait) I will have a close facsimile of that kitchen, I hope.  More interesting was the movie’s director, Nancy Meyers, stating that she began to resent the house because it was drawing more attention than the movie.  (True – I bought the DVD solely for the tour of the set.)  And crazy?  Did you catch the Daily Show last night, featuring Jason Jones’ interview with the truly nutty Erie, OH Democrat (Jean Miller: “Let the drunks have their time on the road.”) who wants to decriminalize drunk-driving on weekends.   Her wacky statement that it left five other days for people to drive their kids to soccer left me stunned (but laughing, at her).  Wow.  How do they find these people?
