Tina Fey is the realest woman on the planet . . .
I have always loved the way Tina Fey chose to depict herself in this ad for American Express. What a mess! Somehow I don't think this was staged at all, do you? It is so real and so refreshing. Who says you have to be compulsively neat to be successful?
Be on the lookout for her at Costco.

511 Reminders for a
Happy and Rewarding Life
I thought it would be fun to scan this entire book, page by page. It's one of my favorites. The author, H. Jackson Brown, Jr. typed these observations and words of counsel for his son to take off to college. The hand-made book quickly circulated and was published in 1991. I often pick up this small volume and it never fails to inspire me. Enjoy.
