One new quote and one old one . . .

I just read this on a review in the New York Times, from a new book coming out on August 4th from Knopf, titled The Slippery Year by Melanie Gideon.

"Marriage changes passion. Suddenly you're in bed with a relative."

Another quote that's been showing up in several things I've read lately is by Helena Rubenstein. "There are no ugly women, only lazy ones."

I should know better.

I pulled another "all nighter" . . . actually 2am again . . . doing high school reunion things. Then I go to bed and toss and turn for another hour or so. The moral of this story is that I should drink warm milk and eat crackers before sleeping (my Aunt Emily used to make me do that when I visited her as a little girl) and do nothing more exciting than read. I should know this, as old as I am, but I ignore it.
