This past Saturday was warm and sunny and such a nice reprieve from the chill that is far from over. With yet another Winter storm on the way, I am thinking ever more about Summer and savoring that lovely time whether we are there in our minds or in reality.

Best Dressed SAG: Sofia Vergara

Best: Sofia Vergara After a rocky red carpet start one year ago, Sofia Vergara has been nearly flawless on a string of carpets, culminating in this best yet blue Cavalli.

People may disagree but I thought she looked happy and comfortable and curvy. I am a huge fan of Modern Family and she seems like a genuinely nice and funny woman. Ahhh.

In Love

“Boys and girls in America have such a sad time together; sophistication demands that they submit to sex immediately without proper preliminary talk. Not courting talk- real straight talk about souls, for life is holy and every moment is precious.” — Jack Kerouac On the Road
