EVERY BODY KNOWS! Qualudes don't go with Whiskey

Alora, Nursing a cold in NYC hence the call for Leonard, who means as much to the Al Gore set as Barbera Strisand does to a whole lot of other people. The righteous and sexy melencholy of his lyrics inspire me to little rebellions like wearing goloshes with mini dresses or other indulgences like dressing as a disheveled french dictator. I guess you can pick your own poison, I found many suprising and charming Leonard Cohen renditions on "the Googles". I am sure there are some Steisand covers too if thats what you're into, in the temple of song.
PS Don't play at the same time if already feeling low key.

The New Yearling

I stopped in at Michelles, a famous candy store and ice cream parlour in downtown Colorado Springs, where I spent my holiday break. One can get ribbon candy there, which is made on the premises, ithink. I have early childhood memories of extracting ribbon candy from the inside of my christmas stocking, sort of unsticking it from the felt and taking in it's amazingly spicy and medicinal odour. The candy was a visually stunning and luminous treat, somewhat resembeling venetian glass. Here are some quotes from a local paper about this amazing place.

"After pulling a few hundred pounds of ribbon candy, you know you've worked a full day," he said. Ribbon candy is one of the store's signature Christmas treats, made from scratch from pure cane sugar and essential flavoring oils each Christmas. It's all done by hand - "We still make our own ice cream, right down to the flavorings and candies that go into it," Andy Michopoulos said. "I even blend and age my own vanilla extract in oak barrels."
Michelle's customers come in all ages. A 2-year-old's birthday party might be happening in a booth next to an octogenarian couple sharing a soda. For groups, Michelle's will produce the Believe It or Not Sundae, which serves 24 people.
The sundae was featured in Life magazine in 1959.
