What Do Women Want? Well, according to this recent New York Times article regarding what makes women tick, apparently, this question remains a mystery to many. Nice work, Freud. It's been, what, over 100 years and they're still confused? (*Note. They never asked me .) In any event, from what I gather one new solution soon to hit the market is something called "Flibanserin." And I'm predicting Oprah gets trampled by her fans when doing her first show on the subject. But, seriously, next time Merideth Chivers is looking for test subjects for her research, just sign me up, baby. -- I'm there!

When I woke up there was a hot, crazy wind blowing. I went outside and it felt like the devil's hairdryer was left on. A hot wind was blowing all the leaves, and dirt and branches about in a crazy manner, not gusts -- just hot, swirling wind...it's an odd and disturbing sensation being in this insistent, hot dry wind. And then in the early afternoon, I took the kids to GoodWill to find some treasure, but once we actually saw the distant sky, we drove home immediately. It was a thick, brown-black band of an almost liquid that spread out over the distant horizon on what was otherwise a clear and perfect day.
