Small children and favorite colors: Research into why colors are so important to kids’ identity. - Slate Magazine
Oh yeah, my 40-inch-old loves her some pink. Though she often presents us with a list of her favorite colors, and expects us to have our own list. Unfortunately, she doesn't like orange, though she knows she's expected to wear and like it when we visit Princeton!

Why You Should Be Drinking Cheap Wine - Slate Magazine
The average annual consumption in the USA is only around one bottle per month?? We are definitely outliers.
Why You Should Be Drinking Cheap Wine - Slate Magazine: If hints of cassis, subtle earthiness, and jammy notes don’t interest you, you are not a lesser person. Wine is not art. There’s no reason to believe that aligning your tastes with those of a self-appointed elite will enrich your life, or make you more insightful or sensitive. If wine critics want to spend lavishly on the wine they like, that’s great. Leave them to their fun. Be grateful that you can gain just as much pleasure, if not more, without bankrupting yourself.
