Mystical Murmurs: My Interfaith Life

For Ken, who passed away on January 3, and for his family who will miss him.

OK, so it's a new year, and in the spirit of compromise, J. and I have reached an agreement about something that has been a source of argument for many months now. And our solution was so simple! Fuzzy bathroom rugs. I have cornered the market on fuzzy bathroom rugs, predominantly blue ones. Don't go looking for any of these at K-Mart -- they're all gone. They're all at my house. They cover the seats of all my furniture. They're rubber-backed and impervious to moisture, dirt, mud, and they're totally washable. Now the three dogs can lounge with me on the furniture. If this is all I accomplish in 2008, it's quite enough. Martha Stewart would never recover if she saw my living room.
