As the snow continues to fly in the northeast and the cleanup beings in Chile, we’re still waiting to hear where the tsunami might hit (evacuations have begun)…

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!).

Alice – thanks for your thoughts! The waves started to arrive exactly as predicted (11:05am HI local time) and fortunately weren’t destructive. It was a very surreal experience today and I’m so pleased we got away with it this time!

Tom, so glad to hear that it was just exciting!
You need to get out of the kitchen.
The earthquake took place in Chile.
Oh, LOL!!! Thanks for letting me know — I’ve fixed it! (Indeed, must get out of the kitchen…)
