It’s been a busy day, followed by dinner with friends at my favorite Korean restaurant (I’m such a lucky girl!). I had the ojingeo bokkeum (spicy squid with vegetables in hot sauce), pictured below, and I’m now stuffed with wonderful food. And the photo is all I have time for at the moment, because a friend just hooked me up (again, lucky girl!) with a Google Wave invite, so I have some exploring to do…
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...

Man, that food looks awesome!!
Unfortunately, almost 3.5 million unemployed people can’t afford a dish like that in Obama’s economy. But I’m not worried; he said there would only be 8 percent unemployment if we passed his “stimulus” bill.
Uh, wait a second…
