Zafu Goes Too Far!
Many of you may have recently read about the Zafu site in The New York Times.
Zafu claims to help women find the perfect jeans by asking users to complete a jeans fit questionnaire. For example, one comments on the fit through the thighs, which rise one prefers, and whether or not the waist gaps or creates a muffin top. I must admit that Zafu recently helped me find a great pair of jeans.
You can imagine my shock and surprise when Zafu recently e-mailed me offering to find the perfect bra. Unable to even imagine what the questions might be, I have been unable to face the site since.

Aging Indicator #2: Booty Trade-Off Index
Young and Carefree: Would gladly trade years of Ivy League education for tighter booty. Booty generally tight to begin with
Watch Out: Slow decline of booty, often encouraged by desk job, offset by increase in wit and confidence
Old Fogey: Using revenues generated as result of years of Ivy League education to replace booty
(1) The BootyTrade-Off Index has been generously and inadvertently inspired by a recent acquaintance, thus the emphasis on Ivy League education
(2) Intended definition of booty

Aging Indicator #1: Time Spent Watching The Weather Channel
Young and Carefree: Occasionally checks The Weather Channel for weather, particularly when extreme conditions exist
Watch Out: Weather Channel viewing time increases to 10-15 minute blocks, with weather frequently playing in background. Recognizes Weather Channel anchors
Old Fogey: Weather Channel programmed as favorite on remote. Minimum session time 30 minutes. Regular commentator/contributor to Weather Channel programming and web site

My Escapade Gourmande
Thanks to my beloved TiVo, I now record the French evening news for the rare occasions when I actually have time to sit and watch TV. There is only one issue - TiVo is not accustomed to the rather untraditional timing of French television, which starts and stops programs at times other than the hour and half-hour.
The French news is followed by a short cooking program, during which French chefs whip together majestic creations using gorgeous, fresh ingredients. Each evening, I longingly watch and learn, step by step, how to create a sumptuous dish. Well, almost. TiVo generally cuts off the program at the second to last step of the recipe, leaving me forever in suspense.
