It was a 9 hour round trip and we didn't arrive home until almost 3 a.m. on Saturday. Of course we all slept late, but after lunch we drove to Rio Rico and Tubac on Saturday afternoon.

Apparently, my parents thought it would be “cute” to make my first and last names nearly identical. My family and friends call me Ash. My mother calls me by my first and middle names, Ashley Nicole.

Here are excerpts of novelist Diana Spechler’s recent blog posts: The book club was held around a long wooden table in the library of the retirement home. The members (all women) trickled in, dressed to the nines in khaki pants over stockings and slippers, or smart appliqué sweat suits. When everyone was seated, one more woman entered the room. “I’m late!” she said, rushing—to the extent that an old person can rush—to an open seat, which happened to be next to mine. She had curly white hair anDouble Shot At Love: Yay For Fake Lesbians!

Profiles in Panic With Wall Street hemorrhaging jobs and assets, even many of the wealthiest players are retrenching. Others, like the Lehman Brothers bankers who borrowed against their millions in stock, have lost everything. Hedge-fund managers try to sell their luxury homes, while trophy wives are hocking their jewelry. The pain is being felt on St. Barth’s and at Sotheby’s, on benefit-gala committees and at the East Hampton Airport, as the world of the Big Rich collapses, its culture in shocPressed between the pages of my mind…
This past week Dad and I drove by one of our old neighborhoods near Lackland Air Force Base. He likes to drive by to see how the house changes through the years. The last time we drove by it sported a rather bright coat of bright blue paint. This time around, the present owners have done a nice job of bricking the front of the house and part of the sides, and we were surprised at how much better it looked. We slowed down so I could get some shots with my point-n-shoot and one of the neighbors poOfficially Nissan NV2500 Concept commercial

Sometimes it is easy to recognize an Internal Critic. It is the snide, little voice that speaks up just as you are sliding a cake into the oven. "Hope it doesn't fall!" says the voice. ...and sometimes it's not so easy to understand what's going on. The Inner Critic can be deceptively cute. It may seem helpful--incapable of inflicting psychological harm... For example, does this IC look dangerous?

For the last six months I have been boldly waving the banner of good design across your computer monitors as though I were sent down from the very heavens with a design vision gifted by God himself.
