Redhead Reflections

Read this wonderful poem from 1931 by designer/poet Don Blanding:  Song of the Kitchen

 "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO - what a ride! "   -  unknown author

"How old would you be if you didn't know how old you were?" -  Satchel Paige
