   If you are living with a snorer, try buying a wedge pillow. I got mine at Relax the Back, and according to my wife, it stopped my snoring. You might have to try different height configurations before finding one that works – probably a higher one.

   Originally a woman’s hat. Per wikipedia: The term fedora was in use as early as 1891. Its popularity soared, and eventually it eclipsed the similar-looking homburg.2 The word fedora comes from the title of an 1882 play by dramatist Victorien Sardou, Fédora, which was written for Sarah Bernhardt.10 The play was first performed in the United States in 1889. Bernhardt played Princess Fédora Romazoff, the heroine of the play. During the play, Bernhardt – a noted cross-dresser – wore a center-creased, soft brimmed hat. The hat was fashionable for women, and the women’s rights movement adopted it as a symbol.1112 After Edward, Prince of Wales (later the Duke of Windsor) started to wear them in 1924, it became popular among men for its stylishness and its ability to protect the wearer’s head from the wind and weather.

   We drive to Florida once a year, & always bring back a dozen bottles of what used to be a $5 and now is a $7 bottle of a particular Sauvignon Blanc from Chile called Santiago Station. It’s not a memorable wine, but it’s very pleasantly drinkable.

    True, some people are like that. What I wrote was a riff on Dr. Johnson’s observation that “People need to be reminded more often than they need to be instructed.” Her mother was instructing, whereas her father was reminding.
