Randomness from Starbucks -- and Plumbly

Question: exactly how out of place is a can of chew (ing tobacco) in the back pocket of an otherwise seemingly sophisticated man in chinos and loafers?

I saw a woman today, who would have looked fabulous except that she had on too much makeup and her hair color was "too much blonde." And what's funny is I immediately thought of Jan Gottlieb and how if Jan were her, she's have the perfect amount of makeup and the perfect color in her hair. And it's not that Jan is glamorous. In fact, she' is anything but. She chooses to look as real as possible and as good as possible at the same time. I can understand that it might have been tough growing up with a woman with such exquisite taste. But I am generally grateful to have gotten to know her. I shall model myself after her in clothing choice and physical appearance.

Have you ever noticed that the world's most romanticized foods are breads/starches. They are basic things that can be described as high art forms and with such passion as to make one wonder what is it we really need to nourish us?

Something is off when I am too warm at Starbucks. It's always freezing in Starbucks. And today, it wasn't even hot. Just warm and pretty humid.

If you were to get me a magazine subscription, which one would it be?
That's actually a question to answer. Please.
