    An Interview With Carolina Herrera
    Carolina Herrera is very skilled.
    Have as much as you want to pay for.
    I am not ready to try to do clothing design.
    I am willing to support the study of clothing design and kibitz as requested.

      Paperback Game: Fun With Literary Opening Lines
      “I can't wait to play this lo-fi, clever party game. Who else wants in? Paperback Game: Fun With Opening Lines - http://nyti.ms/m4CZhP” 
      I have been trying to call up opening lines.  I am drawing a blank.  I usually need a paragraph or two to recognize a text.

      Forget the Treadmill. Get a Dog.
      Here is a link to a very interesting and just plain fun to read blog about a man from NH and his dog, Atticus, who climb a lot of mountains in NH. I have been reading his column for years in a small newspaper in NH when we go there to our mountain home. He is now also writing a book called, 'Following Atticus.' It is all about his adventures in the White Mountains of NH with his dog (due out in September---getting a lot of buzz). Here is a link to his blog. (I don't personally know him or Atticus, I just like his writing) http://tomandatticus.blogspot.com/ I find the blog so comforting. And he is getting very good exercise and great companionship...both sorely needed in our hectic, many times isolated lives. A dog brings you outside of yourself, and also into yourself, all at the same time. Plus, they get you to get outside, which is a great gift. We are now going to start hiking more.....with our dogs, in the mountains. He has inspired us. Well, actually his dog has. 

      Yes. Let us do dog.  30 to 40 lb. dog.  Short smooth coat. 
      To be decided.  I will defer to your experience.

      Still on the Job, but at Half the Pay
      I realize 70K is not overmuch for a family of 2 college-educated wage earners and I agree that, if cuts are made, they should be at much higher levels of wage earning. However, just to put their wages in perspective, try earning less than 20K per year as a community college adjunct faculty speech communication professor with an M.A. degree, paid piece-work per course at around $3,333, with limited benefits! I completed all course work for a Ph.D. late in life (another story). While writing, both parents died within a year of one another and a sister needed my help getting disability. I put my writing on hold and passed beyond a deadline to complete the dissertation (note: dissertation writing is NOT supported in the humanities). As a result, community college teaching was the best teaching position for which I could be hired(a position from which I am now retired and receiving much, much, much less on social security). I am quite sympathetic to the fact that college-educated wage earners are often underpaid but there are some wage earners who have always been underpaid!

      Hard work will only make you tired.  Clever work will make you tired and rich.
      Let us work at being clever.  
      Understand the problem and solve it.  There is no virtue in pain.

      A good possibility.  I am not in love with the result.  The price is nice.

      I know and you know what a long commute demands.    Let us not have one.  
      I can deal with almost any place. 
      I don't want to have to move my studio.

      Composites are very nice.  So is the price.
