Of course Indy House is perfect (ahem) but, OMG, peeps, looks like it's got some competition -- the dream homes of the 1930s and '40s. Check it out. From Yesterday's Tomorrows: Past Visions of the American Future, a fab book that I swiped from Mr...

Mr. IG once took a class at the University of Michigan in which he learned about something called the Second Man theory of architecture. According to this theory, we owe our enjoyment of every well-designed and well-constructed building in the ...

Pretty plants for the deck. Here are the flowers Mr. IG and I picked out together at the flower stand next door: And here are the carnivorous plants Mr. IG brought home, like Jack with the magic beans, from his last trip: I don't even wa...

Waiting to get my hair cut, I pick up a newspaper and above the headline, I kid you not, I am invited to vote for Pet of the Month. My fave: Uno, 2 years old, loves soccer balls, stuffed animals, and granola cereal. Squeee!
