Scarlett

I saw Scarlett Johansson at the Vintage Clothing Show last week - almost ran into her actually. Contrary to popular belief (the belief in our household anyway), she does not always look like she does in the picture above; she looked more like the picture below, but still gorgeous.

Endless Pools

I don't usually pay attention to infomercials, but this was too good to pass up. A machine that creates a "treadmill" version of a pool, so you can swim in place. Brilliant - what will they think of next??

Lunetta

Since Dirk's move to the new office, we have been exploring the Flatiron area for new after-work-dinner places. Last night, we went to Lunetta and it was good - definitely worth a second trip. I will say there were some problems (we sent the bruschetta back because it was burnt, but was great the 2nd time around; the beet salad was dripping with oil). But when it worked - the homemade ricotta, the meatballs - it was great. So we are giving it a second chance, partly because of the really great service and partly because I am obsessed with the lighting fixtures (such a bad picture below, but they are like huge tassles of glowing globes).
