a winter meal when you're not home

after e.e. cummings

thick pea soup and a simple omelette
israeli salad

(juicy tomatoes and firm cucumbers
fresh squeezed lemon juice and virgin olive oil
pepper and salt)

and spicy green
tea

Tattoo Stats

found poem with apologies/thanks to Sue Swartz

Approximately 1 in every 4 Americans age 18-50 has a tattoo
This is up from 16% in 2003
No one is keeping numbers on the over-50 crowd
One third of all 18-25 year olds have at least one tattoo
Among the 26-40 age group, it’s 40%
31% of people with tattoos are gay, lesbian or bisexual
34% of people with tattoos feel sexier because they are tattooed
29% feel more rebellious
Democrats are more likely to be tattooed than Republicans,
though the latter are more likely to regret
their decision to be inked
