When did rouge become blush?

August 17, 2008

My son asked what the pink stuff was that girls put on their cheeks. I said, “It’s called rouge.” I found out I was wrong. My wife, V, caught my response, laughed and admonished me for being out of touch. Rouge is what little old ladies wear. Today women wear blush. Now, I know.

About this blix theme…

July 25, 2008

Well, I grabbed the first one I found. It’s called Blix 2 or something like that. After reviewing my first post on the live site, I was stunned at the amount of ads. A Flash one, even. Ah, well it will have to do for now while I get the ball rolling.
