Happy new year. I’ve just been in Canada and I’ve discovered a few things.

1. I’ve noticed that there are people that drink Coca-Cola for breakfast.

2. I’ve found that hotels will serve teens chocolate chip cookies in hot tubs.

3. I’ve discovered that if you like jeans, but you also like pjamas, you can have the best of both worlds with a pair of Pajama Jeans (Slogan: Pjamas you live in, jeans you sleep in). This could well be the worst product of the year, but is at least on trend with my recent observation about pjamas being big in 2011 because they offer physical and emotional warmth in cold and complex times.

What else have I been thinking? My thought for the day is that I’ve decided not to buy a Kindle. Why? Because the Kindle is to reading what the log-effect gas fire is to heating. Fast and convenient, but somehow lacking in authenticity and warmth.
