Happy Halloween!

I love those little moments that take you out of the ordinary. This morning I stopped in to drop off some things at the dry cleaners, and hanging there was the outfit below. Look closely and you will notice it’s a Ghostbusters uniform. This makes sense since Halloween is tomorrow. I was, however, tickled at seeing this costume hanging there among the suits and blouses, as though it were just another item of business attire whose owner had dropped it off to be cleaned and pressed.

A Math Question

This weekend in D.C., I brunched on warm, homemade pumpkin donuts. Much later that day, after a beautiful and emotional ceremony, I indulged in almost three pieces of wedding cake.
This led me to wonder: Do two halves, eaten from two different pieces of cake, count as one whole slice? They don't, right?

Regardless, I've spent the beginning part of this week taking longer walks than usual to offset the damage. Just in time for Halloween. Oy.

The Complete Idiot's Guide for Dummies

Today I was browsing Barnes and Noble for books on web design and finally narrowed my selection down to the Complete Idiot's Guide to Dreamweaver and Dreamweaver for Dummies. Whenever I seek out a reference guide I always seem to end up this way, blocking the aisle as I contemplate which of the competing versions for the clueless to purchase. This afternoon, however, a new idea occurred to me: When are they going to put out a book called The Complete Idiot's Guide for Dummies, and even more pressing, exactly what kind of a reference manual would it be?
