The Good News

While I was cleaning up the kitchen after dinner tonight, I noticed that no one had yet flipped the bush countdown calendar (thanks, Uncle Bob!) over from December. When I did it, I got a little thrill, because we're down to the last page!!!! It's almost over, folks! Our long national nightmare is finally drawing to a close! Pinch me!!!!!

sandy on signal said...: Yeah. I can hardly wait for 1-20-2009. I am already thrilled about the New Year but only because in 18 days we will have Obama as our President and Cheney/Bush will be gone. Finally... whew.

Happy New Year Everyone.; January 2, 2009 at 3:11 PM

Hello! I'm Alice, which is my real name (most of the other names here have been changed, though, to protect the innocent). I live in an circa-100-year-old house in downtown Chattanooga, TN with my first husband, G-Dog (who is from New Canaan, CT) and a (possibly autistic) cat named Greta. Our daughter, Emmie, lives nearby, so she pops by regularly to amuse us and/or stir the pot.

I originally hale from Batavia, NY, a quiet little town in rural western New York. G-Dog and I met while attending college in Carlisle, PA, and then moved on to Chapel Hill, NC together before finally settling in Tennessee. Other places we've lived in long enough to have a mailing address include London and San Francisco.

This blog is about a lot of things -- the places I visit, food I cook, people I meet, photos I take, things I read -- with a bit of politics thrown into the mix. I'm a slow food-loving locavore; I enjoy running, biking and hiking; make my own soap, moisturizers and household cleansers; and enjoy sewing, crocheting and playing with textiles).
