I don’t know about you, but I could use a moment of escape. This is the last of the photos from my recent trip up to Western New York — a sunset over the landscape in the countryside around my brother’s home.

About
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 cockapoo named Nonnie (the moniker comes from a Laurens van der Post book). We have one kid (that we know of) -- a daughter, Emmie, who recently graduated from college and moved out on her own (keep your eyes open and you might spot her at some point, twirling joyously right before she tosses her hat in the air).
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, things I cook, people I meet, photos I take, things I read, and -- of course, politics. I'm an unrepentant, arugula-eating, progressive, liberal, lefty, euro-loving, educated elitist (yes!! bring on gay marriage, give us a single-payer, completely socialized health care system, and replace the stupid war on drugs with legal, regulated, uber-taxed marijuana -- and some very handy industrial hemp!).

Hey Alice,
I just caught your message over at my personal blog and wanted to let you know I updated it. And I thought you might like to see the biggest teapot in the world.
I need a break from politics anyway- it appears that any negative thing I say about Israel right now is going get me blasted from the left and the right as being a terrorist supporter and I really don’t feel up to defending myself over it.
I’m glad somebody else loves sunsets! Thanks! It’s gorgeous!
