As it also happens to be the day Albert Einstein would have turned 131 years old, here are a few words of wisdom from the birthday boy.

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!).

Wouldn’t it be great to have a bowl of butternut leek soup with Albert Einstein?
I loved his advice to always stay in the present. That is a lesson that I work on learning every day.
So you and Al share a birthday. I’d say you’re living up to his advice.
So, Buck… I take it that means your driving becomes erratic when you’re kissing a pretty girl?
I’d certainly love to share of bowl of soup with the man!
Keera, I do by best. What a challenge!!!
