This blog is intended to be a running salon about books, music, art, economics, law, politics, food, drink, whimsy and wit, as we begin the second decade of the 21st century.
A blog that, for example, examines everything from the Lisbon Treaty to the international trade elements of clove cigarette bans to Booker Prize nominees to the best in classical music, jazz, blues and other the best recipes for hot buttered rum to Tom Ford's filmmaking prowess.
A blog that attempts to surprise and attempts to dazzle.
