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 almost-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 plays a supporting role on the blog. She's off being a student, but she pops in often enough to keep things interesting.
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 and I'm looking forward to an administration that doesn't raise my blood pressure quite as often as the outgoing one did...

Too funny! Didn’t realize he could turn the tape over and play the other side. Suddenly I feel kind of smart.
(I still have my Walkman with FM radio in a lovely wine color.) Remember what killed the 8-track (besides the 8-track technology itself)? Auto-reverse for cassette tapes. Remember when they came up with the “auto-search” feature that would stop when it encountered the gap between songs? Utterly useless for Pink Floyd, natch, but otherwise handy. Ah, the memories, the spooling, the picking out tape that got caught in the heads… We must thank the employee at Sony who thought to plug headphones into a tape player in the first place and kicked off the whole idea of personal, portable music. No one’s felt invited to start a conversation with a stranger since. 
my husband showed me this last night! HILARIOUS!!!!
