In the end, I did write in to Stella and ask about some interior decorating that we are considering for our living room (recessed lighting).  In addition, I checked my horoscope.  I rarely do this; tonight, however, I was a guest lecturer at Boston College's MBA Program talking about Internet Communications and Promotions, and one of the students mentioned that horoscopes are one of the more popular content items for surfers.  Who am I to argue? -- a new experience for me.

A few passages  for Aquarius that I liked were:
    "For the trend-setting Water Bearer heading into a new century there is an ocean
    of opportunities... You will be strongly influenced by Neptune this year, which will 
    affect your income. Rely on your radiant glamour to dazzle your boss and coworkers. 
    Your adaptability will come into play when a potential career shift opens up after 
    the new moon on April 4th. As the lunar reflections increase, so does the spotlight 
    on your finances...Fun time for you really starts in the fall after Saturn's influence 
    wanes. Pack your bags you're going on a trip. Where? To the ocean of course, 
    you silly goose. Bring that sexy violet colored swimsuit you've been dying to wear. 
    Be sure to put some sunscreen on so you don't burn your skin. Just because 
    Aquarians are years ahead of their time doesn't mean you have to look the part."

I'm not sure this applies to me as my bathing suit is black and green; this must be the horoscope for women.  I have, however, been called a silly goose before.  Hmmm, "when the moon is in the seventh house, and Jupiter aligns with Mars, then peace will guide the planets and love will rule the stars; this is the dawning of the age of Aquarius...." (I now can envision Bill Murray doing his Night Club Routine on Saturday Night Live -- A Quare i us, A quaaaaaare i us,  A a quare i i i i i i usssssss, Aquarius.  Whoo, thank you and welcome to the lovely Humble Beginnings Night Club.  I hope you're enjoying yourself and taking a little breather from the outside world.  Joe, I think I've spotted a couple of love birds over here.  Hello.  How are the two of you doing?  You know, there is nothing like a couple of people in love during the Spring time and you two are in love.  I love you, I love you, I love you...oh that song always brings a tear to my eye and I can never finish it.  The Beatles were incredible.  Joe, please, another round for my two friends over here; it's on me.  You know, I don't know what it is, but when the birds are chirping and the flowers begin to bloom, I feel like celebrating...Hava nagila, hava nagila, hava nagila...."

(Where was I?  Oh yes.)  After reading my horoscope, I searched the Toys section.  I was very excited to see that the Showtime Puppet Theater had been reduced to $65 from $110.  You can probably guess the rest of the script; I added the Showtime Puppet Theater and the dump truck (priced at $35) to the cart and, faster than one can say $50 off each purchase of $100 or more, I was through the checkout and leaving $50 and a compliment for babystyle.com.
