“What’s a gift you gave yourself this year that has kept on giving?”  This is the topic for today in the Best of Blog Challenge 2009. I could have gone with my iPhone or my Macbook.  I could wax rhapsodic about either device.  The phone has become almost an extension of my soul, I use [...]

Usually cold, but hot is fine too. Sometimes, I drink hot Chinese or Japanese tea, particularly if I’m at a [...]
