I decided to get a wig after losing most of my hair due to chemotherapy. I chose this style because it was very similar to how I wore my hair before chemo started.It is very easy to wear and natural looking. It was a bit fluffy at the crown for my taste, but a little styling made it what I wanted. I don't wear it as piecey as the model shown, but I think it would be just as cute on me, I just prefer a smoother style. The long pieces in front of the ears mask any gaps at the temples and overall add to the natural look. I can even tuck some behind my ear without revealing the edge of the wig.The only drawback to the wig is in the extended nape. It covers the neck nicely, but has a tendency to roll under or ride up. It isn't so bad that I feel like my wig will fall off, but I may explore a wig tape or gripping band to see if it helps. I just don't want to be tugging at the back all the time.Even with the issue at the nap I think it is a very cute wig. I am extremely happy with it's value and style and would recommend this to any young woman who is facing hairloss, or wants to try a fun, short style.

My hair is slowly growing back (post-chemo). Currently wearing a wig(almost a year now)that I love, but looking for a change in style. Saw the great price and the rave reviews, specifically ones mentioning that this wig looks 'natural'...LOL. Well, it is shinier than Barbie hair, and I looked like Garth from Wayne's World. Catalog pic shows cute, piece-ey style, with bangs that can be side-swept, and volume in the back. Bangs on this one were down just past my nose and very stubborn to stay behind my ears, since the hair is sooo shiny & slippery. I know cornstarch/baby powder can help bring shine down, but did not do so as I am returning the wig :( Was so excited when my wig arrived, but disappointed that it looked the way it did. Too embarrassed to post a pic

Comments about Margo Wig by Paula Young®:
I am on my 4th Margo and ready to order another. I had chemo 2 years ago and my hair just did not grow back in front. This piece has been a life saver for me. My close friends are aware I wear one and some have purchased also just for the style. Others that don't know love my style. I do love the hair piece. I put it on right out of the box, give it a shake and that was it! We recently went to a Theme park and roller coasters were no problem! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

tons of compliments
By grandma Becky
from Washingtno
I wanted to see what a short style would look like on me. I had someone tell me this wig made me look 10 years younger! At 62, that's great to hear. It doesn't seem as long on the sides as in the picture, however, but that's fine with me. I got it in sunflower...really pretty. My natural color is light Red, so it's a fun change. I wish you would make more red colors in more of the wigs, and so does my mom who is looking for a red shade to match her hair. No luck yet for her.

Nothing But Compliments
By Jack Sprat
from Belleville, Ontario
As a 37 year old woman who has lost a majority of her hair over the past 10 years, l have been dealing with Paula Young for some time and have been looking for that perfect wig that makes me feel like the `real`me that l use to be with my own hair. Everyone l know has their own opinions about which wigs they like or look best on me. When l bought Margo l was surprised...everyone has loved this wig and the best compliment that l have been receiving is That is it suites you and It looks just like the way you use to wear your hair. There is nothing that l can say badly about this wig and l have bought 2 more since the first one because l wear it everyday. I hope that Paula keeps this wig as a regular!
Margo is a Hit!
By SoupyJake
from St. Cloud, MN
I wore Margo for the first time on a dinner cruise. Of course with the wind I worried about looking natural, but this wig came through with flying colors! I felt like I looked great, which as a cancer patient, is really hard to achieve. The style is so up-to-the-minute trendy that it looked like I had a great new cut! Please don't discontinue Margo! I need more, maybe in a summer blonde. My husband thought I looked sexy. What more could you ask from a wig?

Love my Margo!
I have 6 wigs now. Some were triple the cost of Margo, and I love this one the best! For the first time since losing my hair to cancer treatment, I feel sexy and beautiful! This is the style I tried to get my own hair to grow into before I lost it with no success.I first wore Margo on a dinner cruise around a river, it was windy, and I still felt glamorous and those with me reassured me it looked perfectly natural as it blew around my face. I love this wig and will order another. Please don't discontinue Margo! Oh, for fun, I had everyone call me "Margo" that evening! Hubby thinks Margo is a sexy gal!
Love it!

Thanks! Let me know if you think of it, I'm curious now.
Hi, Kara! Are you doing your dissertation in social work? I know that's a very emotionally demanding field. Nice to meet you!
Chrissy, I look tons of stuff up. I'm always seeing a new kid with a syndrome I've never heard of or something and I have to look it up, too. Or I need to look up a medicine the child is taking or something else in their case history. I can't know all of that just off the top of my head. I use Google, too!
My odd news for the day is that my author acquaintance I'm fb friends with has tweeted my website to his followers, both on twitter and fb. He has over 4500 facebook friends! He said:
I'm either flattered or creeped out. Not sure which, but we'll go with flattered!Words to Grow By is a fascinating blog about language development. Good stuff for writers! (And parents.)

Maybe someday I'll do a dissertation ... I'd love to but first I want to have a family. And I'll probably end up spending all my money on either infertility or adoption, so I don't see paying for a PhD in my near future! Good luck!

I wanted to share with you guys this story Savana and I finished tonight. It's very cool and I think does a fabulous job of talking about death and how it's a part of life and how we as humans are just a small part of the universe. It's also very interactive letting the child choose some of the details. She liked it so much that she asked me if we could read it again so she could choose different details.
I found the story here http://www.thegreatstory.org/kids.html
Lots of great stuff on here that I am just looking through. Have not had a chance read too much more quite yet.
I just mentioned to Rich, albeit in exasperation, that I thought I'd take a weekend away by myself as soon as we can afford to. He looked at me kinda pissed and said sarcastically, "why?" That was it. I pointed out that lots of women vaca alone and in fact when I originally talked about going to AZ it was only going to be me. Besides that, he's talked himself about taking a hunting trip alone...so what's the difference?
No matter what point I made, he stayed silent. That equates to him not being happy or agreeable to the idea. I dropped it for now but it's going to happen.
Bridget, that site looks really cool! I think the story is a great idea and I might want to do that with my kids when they get done with The Hobbit.
Chrissy, my dh got all quiet when I mentioned taking the twins to Monterrey for an unexpected day off. I kept asking what the problem was, if it was the way I phrased it, if he didn't like the idea, if he thought it would be too expensive, what was the issue, what what what?!!!! And he finally confessed that if there was an issue, which there really wasn't too much of one, it was that I didn't invite him to go along, but since he couldn't go anyway it was silly and really a non-issue. He was just sad to not be going.
Hi Kara! No dissertations for me! I was lucky enough to not even do a thesis for grad school....course the comprehensive exam was not a walk in the park. I like reading, I like learning....I do not like writing papers. Why I like my job....I can read (if I want and have time) and do research but someone has to write the papers.
Interesting for me...I found out yesterday that research I did for a nurse actually changed procedure policy and the impact of that is leading to another procedure change....both changes for the better! I did this search last summer and so often I do searches but never find out if they changed anything or went anywhere.
Mandy I think that is VERY cool!
My DH would NOT be cool with me going on vacation without him. Course I'm not cool with him going out on vacation without me unless it was something icky like camping. But something fun...nope I want to go to. Though DH and I are both needy clingy people so it's good that we are together. I didn't even like going to a conference for a few days.....
Got to use the scrapbooking supplies tonight as MIL and I were making up three boards for the funeral tomorrow. They look pretty good I think considering we did them in like 2 hours.
I'm posting from my phone so sorry for the brief post. Just wanted to say hey to Kara. It's good to see a new face around here.
And, L. You're reading The Hobbit to your kids! That's so cool. I might try to start reading more interesting things with Travis!

Neat that your phone makes two of everything, Ash.
Hi, Kara! Where in NE are you from? And I love the name, Paloma. So pretty. Can I confess that the name Kara makes me think immediately of Sweet Valley High (she was a character in the series).
On solo traveling, that's my favorite. DH hemmed & hawed when I told him I wanted to take 1 last big intl trip before trying for bodhi, but didn't try to stop me. I wanted to go to Tanzania, but my airline miles wouldn't get me there, so I went to Argentina, Chile & Brazil instead. The first two countries was mostly hiking in Patagonia, but Brazil was spent at a surf camp. I met the neatest people from everywhere and had the funnest time surfing in the day and dancing at night. I was based in this little fishing village called Itacare, and arrived the last 2 days of Carnaval. I rented a bike to get around. half the town was cobblestone and the other (touristy/ex-pat) half was dirt roads. I had a two day "vibe" (for lack of a better term) going w/ a Turkish French guy, and we had some good conversations, even better dancing together. He & his Indian English partner were owners of a biotech firm based in Hong Kong, but were expanding the operations to Brazil. They were just taking a week off to learn to surf. And there was the token psycho chick in our group who was engaged tombe married in two months but sleeping with every guy who paddled past her. I was just thankful that I seemed nice and normal by comparison. (I've been the psycho random traveler chick - minus the uber-sluttiness - on previous travels). There was the German journalist chick and the Canadian ex-pat girl who owned the bar above the surf school and was hardcore into jiujitsu. (She went on to marry one of my favorite surf instructors, and their baby is just gorgeous). Then there was a host of Euro guys who told goofy jokes and wore speedos. Finally, the hot dreadlocked surf teachers rounded out the crew. This is so embarrassing to admit, but when we all arrived on the beach, I felt like the "cool kids". All eyes were on us and envying our good time. That's probably why I have such positive memories of my time there. Also the beach we surfed at the most was a 20 minute hike w/ our boards thru the jungle (actually Atlantic rainforest, but what most people imagine when they think jungle) and I'd just put on my headphones and schlepp my board. It was crazy hard to get back to real life with hubby and desk job after leaving that.
So that was the long rambling lead-in to the fact that I was supposed to drive to LA alone the weekend, just me & Bodhi , but DH invited himself along.
The reason I'm reminiscing so hard at 1am is that I had a craptacular day today. The boss piled on all this stuff for me to take care of in his two week absence, and he is so light on the training. I always find out he knows something he should've told me. So I'm not excited about the next 2 weeks. People are just throwing stuff at me, that I'm gonna have to teach myself how to do in addition to doing. And in my overwhelmed state, I made a very public, very stupid mistake of reading "we do want to..." as "we don't want to" and had to fix things from that point on. I'm definitely in over my head. I usually am, but that doesn't make it nervewracking.
Kate, do you cook from scratch most meals? What's one of your favorite recipes?
Gwenn, it sounds like a nice compliment. Very nice of him to promote your blog. do you have new entries coming down the pipeline?
Myles, I do mostly cook from scratch. I used to make hamburger helper and other boxed meals a lot because DH liked them but they're so horrible for you and really not that good and I can make the same thing from scratch so I weaned him off them. It's hard though, with Josh being kind of picky and DH not getting home until well after we eat dinner, so it has to be reheatable. For that reason I love to make soups and stews.
I usually make chili at least a couple times during the colder months, chicken noodle soup, beef stew, etc. I would like to make more interesting dishes but DH is kind of picky as well and fancier meals are kind of lost on him.
Actually I have a story that kind of pissed me off about my cooking. I had made home made mac and cheese one day, I swore DH said he liked it last time, so I was all proud and he got home and looked a little nonplussed and said "I would have rather had the bbq beef" (this Jack Daniel's brand shredded beef I get from the grocery store). I was so hurt.
As for the vacation...I was very lucky DH let me go on the cruise and I realize that. Almost everyone he told about it asked him how he could let me do that. He just knew it would make me happy. He does expect a nice swanky vacation for the two of us in return someday, though.
I didnt want that last post to get too long, but I wanted to say thanks to Bridget to sharing that site. And how cool about the Hobbit, L! I only read that myself a few years ago! LOL
I just finished reading Stuart Little to Josh and he really liked it so I got Winnie the Pooh out of the library and he likes that too. I had no idea he was ready for chapter books already. I know he doesn't understand a lot of it but he seems to like it a lot anyway.
Myles. I'm sure you'll muddle your way through the mess your boss left you. And I bet everyone is in on his quirk about not giving all pertinent information so I'd try not to stress about asking questions if you need to (listen to me-IT geek who's afraid to Google at her maybe-new-job! )
I'm 99% sure Rich's silence was out of not wanting me to go. He'd never tell me no, for one, and that's his way of disagreeing with me. Silence. When I talked about going to AZ without him or the kids it was a totally different response. He was supportive and thought it would be a good thing. I am still rather taken aback that his first response to me mentioning getting away was "why?" It's not like we never talked about that before and I've definitely traveled with the kids without him. I think it stems from him being stressed too and our relationship not being on the most solid ground so the thought of me leaving, even for just 2 or 3 days, freaked him out a little.
There's a very slight chance that he was thinking that he'd like to go wherever with me...but honestly, he's just like another child to me and that's what I want to escape--I want to leave everyone and everything that I have to 'take care of' for just a couple days. That would include him.
If we went somewhere, I'd pick where, when, what we'd eat, what we'd see. I'd even plan the map and tell him where to park. I have nothing like that left in me. I just want him to start making some decisions himself. Even the little ones. Goodness-if he could plan an entire vacation for us himself...ah, the thought is almost like a sexual fantasy for me. It'll never happen.
I am not reading The Hobbit - dh is. I read them Little House in the Big Woods and Little House on the Prairie, and once dh heard that they were okay and paying attention to those, he got all excited and built up excitement about The Hobbit to them, so much that they started clamoring about 'the dragon book' halfway through Little House on the Prairie, so I had to stop and let dh do bedtime and storytime to them. Yesterday dd was telling me that ds had a gold tooth.
They don't understand everything, not by far, but the things they stop and ask questions about are not the things that I would expect. And most of the time I just keep reading along and I figure they'll understand more the next time I read the book.
Jennifer, I forgot about you as a resource! I'm terrible about doing literature searches in the medical field. I am trying to get a policy changed. Right now we have to start IVs on people with ports (implantable ports, which is a subset of central venous catheters) unless they have a chest x-ray to confirm placement of the device within the past month. These people have ports because they have to get chemotherapy or some other frequent IV solution over long periods of time and are probably difficult to stick. They get their chemo all the time in another department without a chest x-ray. They go in every week or every two weeks, get their solution through their port, and go home. But then they come to us and we tell them we can't use their port. It's a huge dissatisfier. Part of the problem is that we are considered an inpatient unit because we're part of the hospital, so we have to follow inpatient policies (thus the chest x-ray) but most of our patients are outpatients. I don't even know where to begin looking to back up my reasons for not getting a chest x-ray. Can you help?
ETA: I realize this is your job, so if you don't want to do something unpaid, feel free to tell me no thanks!
ETAA: I think baby ds is finally weaned, so I need to change my ticker but I have to remember how to do it.

All of you talking about going on vacation alone is making me question myself. Dbf has decided to go to the wedding of an old "friend" in NY. (He has had nothing good to say about the man for the past 2 years. So...frienemy?) He made this decision to go after I told him that I didn't want him to go and that if he goes it will stress me out and I will worry the whole time he is gone. So I am just totally heartbroken that after telling him that he decided to go anyway. It's like he absolutely has no regard for my feelings.
This friend was his partner in crime in HI, lots of drinking and inappropriate behavior which obviously you guys are aware of was all with this guy. They (meaning the entire wedding party-bridesmaids/groomsmen) are all staying in a house together for the weekend. Knowing this guy like I do, I know it will just be a big party and it makes me very, very uneasy. He knows how I feel and he's going anyway.
I am so sad.
Bridget, your scenario is totally different. None of us have gone or are ever planning on going off with someone that led us to having an affair. That's a huge difference.
And I will say that while I'm not happy with Rich's attitude about my possibly going away on my own, I wouldn't do it if he was dead set against it. It might cause problems for us because imo he'd need valid reasons, like yours, for not wanting me to go.
Are you familiar with the Iowa model? That is what we use for EBP. the best place to start is to form your PICO (bad me, I forgot exactly what that stands for....think that it's population, intervention....something and maybe outcome?). I'm off work until Monday otherwise I could look it up quickly...I don't have access from home to our resources. I will come back to this Monday. I have found a lot of times with policies that they are just done that way because it's always been done that way....not that there is great evidence for that way over something else.
No, I'm not familiar with any of that. Iowa or PICO, and this is something we've been wanting to do something about for years and more urgently for months but I don't ever get time at work to do things that aren't direct patient care anymore, so I can't do it at work and obv. I don't prioritize spending a bunch of unpaid time at home doing stuff for work if they won't do anything for me anymore. We were told a while ago there was no way to change the policy, but a few months ago were told that if we present any research to one of the anesthesiologists, we could develop a policy for our own department. We just don't get time to do it. Already we spend an hour unpaid after work every day catching up on stuff.

Bridget that was an awesome website!
Is this the trip you were telling us he was thinking about a while back Bridget? I'm sorry he decided to go against your wishes.
If DH had really been uncomfortable with me going on the cruise I wouldn't have gone. I would have been very sad...but I wouldn't go. But it was comforting to him that there would only be a handful of guys and most of them would either be gay or with a woman on the boat already ;) We did wonder if the crew members picked up any girls though.
He keeps saying he wishes he was in a relationship with trust.
Well, of course. So do I. I wish I wouldn't stress out and worry but I will.
Can't change it now. Tickets are bought. I'm not going to wallow in misery over it.
I'm sorry, Bridget. That would be really upsetting.
DH and I have never vacationed apart from each other since getting married. We've had an odd day apart every now and then; he went to Amsterdam for his BIL's bachelor party and I've had a spa day with my SIL and MIL but that's about it. I don't think we'd ever do anything apart like a recreational holiday....we don't have many close friends and are both really quiet people, so we mostly just enjoy each other's company.
I remember that potential trip also, Bridget, and I wouldn't be happy either. I would not be happy about him going in the first place, and I wouldn't be happy about him disregarding my feelings about it. But you're right, what can you do about it now?
My dh frequently tacks on a few extra days to his business trips and he always apologizes to me about it. He feels badly about spending the extra money and about having a nice few days on his own, doing something we would both enjoy but only he gets to do, but that is pretty much the main perk of his job. He asks every time if I'm okay with it.

The stakes just got higher for nearly 200 workers at 36th District Court. They shot down a proposed one year contract that would have cut their pay and downgraded their insurance.
The top negotiator for Judge Michael Talbot said it was a short sighted and uninformed decision to reject the contract.
However, Marjorie Dickerson said rejecting it was a no-brainer.
"We have not had a pay increase, raise or anything since 2005, not even step increases, and then you come in and you tell us I'm going to cut your insurance," she said.
Talbot was behind the harsh offer. He was tapped to oversee a major overhaul of the court. More than 100 workers have been laid off, and services have been outsourced in order to cut costs.
Union leader Robert Davis said those changes have only made things worse.
"As a result of particular AFSCME employees being laid off, the services have been reduced significantly," he said.
More layoffs and concessions could be on the way. Since workers voted down the one year deal, they will have to negotiate a longer term contract that will likely be more severe than the last.
However, Davis warned if Talbot plays hardball, workers will be inclined to do the same.
"I'm trying to work cooperatively with Judge Talbot, who is a great jurist in his own right, but the problem here is the representative that Kevyn Orr has at the table that's putting forth his directives and demands," he said.
We asked Davis whether a strike was possible.
"Anything is possible," he said.
"If we need to strike, if we need to walk out, then that's our leadership. If that's what we must do, we got to do what it takes," said AFSCME President Debra Beal.
We will find out if that will happen in just a few days. Both sides seem as if they are miles apart in finding any common ground. There is also a deadline for that contract that is set for July 31.

Is it OK to undergo EVLT while being treated for Lyme disease? (7 answers)
My right leg has reflux, and I needed the surgery 5 years ago but chickened out. Now I'm being treated for Lyme disease and the vein situation has worsened.

I just had an endovenous laser treatment and now my doctor refuses to do sclerotherapy, should I consult with another specialist? (7 answers)
I had an endovenous laser treatment on my left small saphenous vein (SSV), which was 6.1. My left great saphenous vein (GSV) is 2.3. I found the procedure to be extremely painful, so I decided not to have EVLT done on the great saphenous vein. I spoke with my doctor about performing sclerotherapy instead, but he refuses to do it on veins that you can see unless I do the GSV. Should I see another doctor about this?

Why wait for microphlebectomy after EVLT? (6 answers)

Can EVLT get rid of my muscle strains and night cramping? (6 answers)
I've been considering endovenous laser treatment (EVLT) for two years. I'm an active 50 year old female who runs.

My doctor suggested radiofrequency ablation over EVLT because I have large veins, is this argument valid? (6 answers)

It's been 5 days since an attempted EVLT on my R leg. Dr. spent 1+ hrs trying to thread the initial wire thru the vein but was unsuccessful - it was very painful.Now my leg is really sore and hard to move. Dr seems unconcerned. What do I do?
I have severe itching and redness after EVLT, is this normal? (0 answers)
I had endovenous laser treatment on both legs in December. My leg is still discolored and numb at the injection sites, but my major problems are redness and extreme itching. The pattern travels up and then down my leg. I am scared to go back to the doctor who treated me. Is what I am experiencing normal? Should I seek the care of another doctor?
Is it normal to have progressive pain and tightness one week after endovenous laser treatment? ? (0 answers)
One week after having endovenous laser ablation performed on my great saphenous vein, I am feeling a lot of pulling, stretching pain in my calf. The anterolateral thigh tributary varicosed vein is closing up, and a post-op ultrasound showed that everything is fine. Are the side effects I'm feeling normal?
My great saphenous vein is thrombosed 6 weeks after EVLT, what should I do? Why did this happen? (0 answers)
I had EVLT on my great saphenous vein 6 weeks ago, but I still have pain along the lateral side of my leg. The discomfort tends to occur after standing, or when wearing compression stockings. The Doppler ultrasound shows that my small saphenous vein is competent, but that the great saphenous vein is thrombosed. What should I do? Why did this happen?
Pain has reoccurred almost two months after EVLT/Phlebectomy, why is this happening? (0 answers)
I had EVLT on my left leg Nov 22 and am scheduled to have the right leg done at the end of the week. Everything went fine until a week ago. Both ultrasounds have looked good, but now I have a constant ache in my inner groin down to my calf. I am worried about going ahead with the second procedure. What should I do?

Chrissy, that's great about the scholarship. Bobbie should definitely go if that school has what she wants academically. If Cornell would meet her needs better, she can wait a year and get the discount.
I get 5 sick days and 5 personal days per year. I can take sick time out of my personal days if necessary but not the other way around, and we can carry them over from year to year although I think they've given us a max. People used to accrue months worth of sick leave and then cash in all those days when they retired for a substantial amount of money, but I think they changed their policy to state that we can only keep 5 years worth. Irrelevant in my case - I take my sick days. Although I don't get sick as often in this new position so maybe I'll let some accrue eventually. We don't get "vacation" days.
We also get paid holidays (Thanksgiving, winter break, etc.) Summer is off without pay although I have my pay prorated so some is withheld during the year and I will still get a paycheck in the summer, which is really nice. I'd feel guilty about all the time I have off except I make about $15K less per year than I would if I didn't work for the district - and some of the contractors make that much more and also work over the summer (in nursing homes, etc.) so they make even more.
ETA: It's hard on the hourly staff, though. They don't get paid over breaks and holidays as they aren't on salary. I can't help but think that would just suck, because schools have lots of days like grading days, govt holidays, etc. that there is no school so the hourly staff doesn't work.

Welcome to the NLCS, Los Angeles. The Dodgers are the first to punch the Championship Series ticket this MLB postseason with a 4-3 victory over Atlanta last night. Wait…LA? What? But I thought that was an organization in turmoil, a team goin' nowhere with a can't-manage-a-lick manager in Don Mattingly. That was precisely the wisdom of the fans, the experts…well, just about everybody…back in May.
I remember it like it was yesterday. My Milwaukee Brewers, winners of just 3 games
to that point in the month (May 20th), were sitting 8 games under .500
with the equally hapless Dodgers rolling into
In our just-add-water, instant gratification sports society, the story of the 2013 Los Angeles Dodgers is an excellent lesson in patience and perspective.
Ebby Calvin "Nuke" LaLoosh stated it simply and poetically (WARNING: NSFW – LANGUAGE):
But like his character in Bull Durham, Nuke's simplicity lacks perspective. The euphoria of winning, and the philosophy of winning at all costs, has created in us…and I mean all of us – fans and owners alike…an impractical entitlement. It has blinded us to the reality of the difficult journey that is success. Winning is tough. And winning in baseball? That's a brutal six month rollercoaster ride.
I'm not a myopic apologist for the manager, but we too easily default to "fire the skipper" when the team is losing. There are certainly cases of ineptitude, or an incidence in which an otherwise solid presence has "lost the team," but I find those to be the rarities. Injuries, fatigue, off-the-field issues creeping into the clubhouse psyche…heck, just standard underachieving…basic human conditions tend to be the culprit. Oh, and lack of talent – a canyon over which even the best of the best managers cannot leap.
The Dodgers knew what they had in Mattingly, took the time to diagnose the real issues, then afforded their manager the time to turn it around. Well done, L.A.

Two Goddammit Burgundies In One Day!
What's a Goddammit Burgundy? Simple. If you've already got the Burgundy Habit, you spend an inordinate amount of time, money and focus on trying to find that perfect bottle of Burgundy, like the one that got you hooked in the first place. Your palate swims through oceans of mediocrity, and occasionally drops to scoop up some bottom sludge of swill disguised with fancy names. And just about the time you tire of spending all that money and wasting all that time….. along comes a Burgundy that stirs up all those passions and hopes and dreams all over again, and you plunge headlong back into that deep, dark, all encompassing obsession, swept away You shrug, realizing you are lost, look at the Burgundy, say "Goddammit", and take another perfect sip. . The wallet opens and the hunt begins anew. That, folks, is a Goddammit Burgundy.
Well, thanks to Lou Kessler, I had two Goddammit Burgundies in one day. Our mutual friend Gail was visiting from Seattle and we were coincidentally celebrating selling our house for scandalous profit (well, it's in escrow, anyway), so we went to Bouchon in Yountville for lunch.
Lou insisted on bringing a couple of wines, as is his wont. First out of the bag is a 2000 William Fevre Les Clos Chablis. Goddammit. Crystal transmuted into a shimmery green gold wine. Lemon sea shells. Liquid limestone. This…this is what Chablis is. Salty cone of Pomme Frites on the table, a plate of Brandade de Morue with preserved tomatoes in front of me, a fresh, crusty"wheat stalk" baguette on the butter plate, good friends all around, and feeling as close to a Parisian bistro as you can get while still in California: life is very good.
And I'm thinking, Goddammit, I absolutely have to remember to go out to the local wine store and see what Chablis is in stock, and start selectively tasting and acquiring…..
But Lou is not finished. "Bordeaux or Burgundy?" he says. And I swear there's a wicked gleam in his eyes. All four of us chorus "Burgundy", without hesitation. It's easy to see where this crowd is coming from. So Lou pulls out a Domaine Daniel Rion Nuits St. George PC Haut Pruliers 1990.
Before I even taste it, before I even lift the glass to my nose, I can see it and smell it. Already, I know: Goddammit!
There are few things more beautiful in life, more sensuous and compelling, than a perfectly realized Burgundy Pinot Noir. This is one. Honestly, descriptions fail (at least, mine do). I can't do it justice. There's reverential silence, everyone with nose in glass, then (I swear it) cooing noises. Must be the other four, Can't be me doing that, can it? Every element of the wine is in absolutely perfect balance. Fragrant fruit, earthy, mushroomy, leathery, sweet, sweet, sweet and pure cherry, more earth/umami filling the mouth, filling the mind. Right here, right now, it could not possibly be any better. It defines the moment, defines the region, defines the grape, defines the style. This is what any wine lover strives to find.
Of course, I further drive home the point by ordering a plate of Gnocchi in the "Parisian Style", little cylinders of gnocchi, sautéed with mushrooms and dredged in herbs and olive oil. Goddammit.
Dessert? No, thank you. I still have some Haut Pruliers in my glass. I'll make it last as long as I can, but eventually, I know, that I'll have to give up this seat and table to someone else, and no matter how cautiously I sip, the wine keeps getting lower and lower in the glass…

Newtown (AP) — The parents of one of the 20 first-graders killed in the Newtown, Conn., school massacre say they met with the gunman's father for over an hour in an effort bring some closure to the tragedy.
Alissa Parker told "CBS This Morning" in an excerpt of an interview that aired Thursday that she wanted to meet with Adam Lanza's father, Peter Lanza, to tell him "something" she needed to get out of her system.
It was unclear what they discussed or when the meeting took place. CBS plans to show the rest of the interview with Alissa and Robbie Parker on Friday morning, revealing more details about their meeting with Peter Lanza.
The Parkers' 6-year-old daughter, Emilie, died in December's shooting rampage. They tell CBS they wanted to ask Peter Lanza about his son's medical history and other issues.

A pet goldfish is off-the-hook and alive after a micro-surgery removes a tumor from his brain.
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Ohio authorities are trying new technology aimed at heading off wrong-way drivers, often the cause of the state's deadliest highway accidents.
The state Department of Transportation will try using cameras that automatically will alert state workers when there are vehicles going the wrong direction. Details are still being worked out, but they plan to test the effort first in Columbus and Dayton.
The Columbus Dispatch reports (http://bit.ly/12tb0rv ) that a State Highway Patrol study just released found that 37% of wrong-way crashes resulted in fatalities. That's a fatal rate of more than 100 times the rate of deaths from all crashes from January 2011 to April 2013.
Two people have been killed in central Ohio in wrong-way crashes in the past week.
