TODAY’S CREATIVE LOVING PROFILE
One good, one not so good
This is from Doug Rosenbloom: Cliff: To borrow a phrase from one of your recent posts, I ventured from my "usual intown dining zone" to Buckhead last night for a co-worker's birthday dinner at Nava.

I arrived at 1:30 but was informed my torture would not begin until 3 p.m., after all. Disinclined to spend 90 minutes in [...]

Guest blogger: An ode to ketchup
Playing ketchup
By Russ Marshalek
I first discovered ketchup as a weight-loss tool when I was in my early teens.
