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.

'Mutts Like Me' poster from Shepard Fairey promoting shelter adoptions . . .
This poster by Shepard Fairey has earned a permanent spot in the dog section of my sidebar. I made it clickable so that the viewer is redirected to a site with an animal adoption center locator.
Quoted from the website, "Now, Shepard Fairey, the man Time Magazine named 'Icon Maker' of the year, has used his talents to help shelter pets! The artist who made Barack Obama's face an icon through his stickers and posters has now made an icon out of the American mutt, proving that every mutt is truly a masterpiece!"
"Help spread the word on behalf of the millions of furry U.S. pets currently waiting to be adopted!"
This whole movement was started by a line in one of Barack Obama's speeches. I can't wait to see the new First Puppy. It might be two according to news reports.
My own dog Webster came from a shelter as a 9-week-old puppy. He was crouched in the corner of a cage marked "UNWANTED". The rest is history. Tabitha the cat came from a shelter too.
Go out and get your own Best Friend as soon as possible! Download and print the image to help spread the word.
