Business
Pam's Party Teas in Harrisburg, PA. My village's loss is Harrisburg's gain. This former neighbor is an excellent party organizer and pastry chef.
Music
Leo Kottke, Ice Fields
A bright, optimistic piece of music for solo acoustic guitar. You can listen to a free high-quality recording by guitarist Javier O'Keefe on the Vectordisc Records website.
Books
 Herb Caen, Baghdad by the Bay, 1949
For decades (1938-1994), Caen wrote lovingly and with humor about San Francisco in his daily newspaper column. This book has one remarkable piece of writing after another and is readily available at Advanced Book Exchange: www.abe.com. The copy I bought cost less than the price of shipping! (Note: We no longer think of Baghdad as an exotic, far-off city. How quickly our judgements change.)
