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!).

holy SHIT! u scare me to death
Great Halloween costume! Hey, I’m out of energy today so have posted a “link love” review of your site. I wanted a picture to go along with it and I thought this was a good one. Do you mind? I’m happy to use something else or do without a photo if you prefer. All the best.
Feel free to use what you’d like! There’s a “photos” link down on the left column of the main page. I’m on the way out the door, or I’d hunt one down for you myself… maybe later?
(btw, that’s not me — it’s DD (dear daughter) a few days ago in the gift shop up at Rock City, Chattanooga’s classic tourist attraction — we took some family up there while they were in town visiting over the weekend).
Simple but effective! I like! (And yes, it did startle me.)
