fu swine flu

just in from the hospital regarding swine flu, should a pandemic emerge: "residents participate in hospital Pandemic Plan to deliver care."

I'm sorry, what happened to: "residents stay home and play wii to avoid getting flu. full pay will continue in addition to emotional stress bonus."

chi-town

with alinea (known for its lavender air, and whose current menu lists "transparency" as one of the courses) booked, mila needed something to sate her appetite for more solid food. "the meatloaf bakery" was deemed too far from the hotel (alas, no "el loafo del fuego" for mila), so it appears that she will have to do with "mr. beef". apparently a chicago institution, mr. beef specializes in the italian beef sandwich (think philly cheesesteak without the cheese); if a bun topped with piles of sliced beef, doused in jus, and available with an optional italian sausage cannot appease the mila, then surely nothing can.

disaster averted

not to fear: halifax does, after all, have a swiss chalet.

hot off the runway

after boarding air force one in thakoon and deplaning in jason yu, michelle obama has surfaced in london this morning clad in a j. crew cardi (now sold-out) and skirt (going fast). does mobama just pop into her local j. crew to pick up some first lady looks? "hey sales clerk, just need some international summit outfits. does this come in blue?" because I have been to some j. crews, and they were full of disorganized merchandise and uninterested salespeople. does mrs. o have to put up with that in her quest for accessible yet fashionable outfits?
