Job transition includes geography. I went from an office just yards from the traffic white noise of traffic-tie ups of Interstate 71 North to this soothing view.
All I need now is a cow.

The Best Scam-a-Tan a Girl Could Have
Hi, my name is Lisa and I’ve been using fake tanner since 1990.
That’s the year I moved to Phoenix and discovered I was the palest girl in town. Arizona — the land of shorts, tank tops and year-round tans. I tried every self-tanner on the market at that time (there weren’t many) and they smelled so bad they were practically unusable.

Sixty-eight degrees. It’s above freezing in Ohio. Ergo, it’s summer. So that means it’s the momentous occasion to which we look forward each year: the day we open the sunroof.
TV meteorologists are popular today. This week began with nipple-erections-beneath-the-turtleneck-AND-the-wool-sweater temperatures. The forecast includes continued warming all weekend. Public happiness may erupt in [...]
