Since this is end of the quarter, I guess I should put in a plug for donations to her campaign.

Maybe you can do a blog interview with her sometime? She really enjoys working with the netroots and how creative people have been in using the technology.

First yoga manual I’ve found that doesn’t start with the attitude, implicit or explicit, that “If you can’t manage postures invented by slender males, go lose weight or get stronger and THEN come back here”…</p> Re exercise: Just found myself a book called MEGAYOGA (Megan Garcia, DK pbk, $15, ISBN 0-7566-1947-5).

May sound weird, but it probably epitomizes my ideal of beauty.

OK, I’m old-fashioned and very un-hip.

But I don’t care–That redhead is hot!

I’d buy one of those calendars in a heartbeat.
