Speaking of songs that run through your head all morning, it now appears that I will be stuck with "California Love" except for the substitution of West Virgina references.

West Virginia knows how to party, as it were. Argh.

This makes me wonder why Father's day isn't in October or sometime like that. An ideal father's day for many would be being left alone in the TV room for 15 hours to watch every possible football game, uninterrupted, and with a case of brews nearby. Now that's showing love for papa.

Drink More Pinot
 

They are finally figuring out the French Paradox w/r/t to health and aging. They have found chemicals in red wine that seem to delay the aging process in rodents from 30-50%.

"According to the Oxford Companion to Wine, Pinot Noir tends to have high levels of the chemical, while Cabernet Sauvignon has lower levels. "Wines produced in cooler regions or areas with greater disease pressure, such as Burgundy and New York, often have more resveratrol," the book says, whereas wines from drier climates like California or Australia have less.

Besides resveratrol, another class of chemical found to mimic caloric restriction is that of the flavones, found abundantly in olive oil, Dr. Howitz said. "

Justification
 

"Dear Miss Manners:

When did it become against the "law" to wear pearls in the daytime? Is it okay to wear pearls to a big fancy luncheon?

Gentle Reader:

Wearing pearls day or night was illegal under periodic sumptuary laws in Venice and Florence between the 16th and 18th centuries, but Miss Manners understands that they have since been repealed. Pearls are now properly worn at any hour. Just don't let her catch you running around decked in diamonds before dusk. "

Never mind having sex with an adult, apparently, 14 year olds aren't allowed to have sex with each other.

Wedding Question
 

Uhh, not being from West Virginia and having never attended a wedding involving West Virginians, can you tell me what the dollar dance is?

Anne
I'll duck back behind my rock now.

Wedding Question
 

I've seen it mostly among lower-income couples. Guests line up to "pay" the bride a dollar for a dance. The dollar is usually tucked into a little satin bag the bride wears on her wrist during this part of the reception.

Horribly tacky or a sensible tradition for young families for whom a couple hundred extra bucks can really make a difference?

Wedding Question
 

I think that grooms do it as well.

Guess its the last time the bride and groom can whore themselves out to the masses before the wedding night....

Wedding Question
 

I've witnessed it at a wedding of a very wealthy family.

Albeit the wedding of a very wealthy southern Indiana family, NTTAWWT.
