File this under “everyone is getting into the act”: Glenn Beck is starting a clothing line. Really -or so he says. Methinks that qualifies as jumping the shark; apparel entrepreneurship will never be the same ~sigh~.

I’ve got company in town so I’m playing the accommodating host. First stop: the local farmer’s market. Can’t speak for your part of the world but around here ours have live music, kids and dogs dressed in costume, lots of crafts, art and of course, food.

See the archives page with still more entries if you’ve time to read. I hope your weekend is relaxing and productive. See you next week.
