  Wow! It’s quite chilly outside & the temperature is supposed to drop throughout the day. Definitely a leather coat type of day! I’ve just read that the “hot” Halloween costumes for women these days are Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders or to dress as Trinity from the Matrix – just in case you’re still looking for ideas.
Also in the news: the next installment of “Surreal Life” will include both Tammy Faye Messner (the ex-Mrs. Baker) and Ron Jeremy (the porn king). OK, so does anyone else see any conflicts of interest here? The show will also include Vanilla Ice, “ChiPs” actor Erik Estrada, “Baywatch” actress Tracy Bingham, “Real World: Las Vegas” housemate Trishelle. One of the ladies I work with, Ada, just got back from France. She brought us some lavender soaps when she went to visit the factory at Le Chateau du Bois. They smell soooo good!! A small observation from my little desk here on the 36th floor in Rockefeller Plaza: there are a lot of people that I work with who literally drag their feet when the walk.
I’m totally shocked as I stop myself from saying, “Pick up your feet!” They all sound like they’re trying to ski on carpet. On this day in 1962: President Kennedy announced an air and naval blockade of Cuba, following the discovery of Soviet missile bases on the island. (courtesy of nytimes.com)
