I was at a terrific Unionville party this afternoon where at first I knew only the host, the hostess, and one other person. Keeping everyone's names, spouses, jobs and dogs straight was like one of those logic puzzles: "The state-store employee does not own a corgi." "The medical malpractice lawyer is not married to the German shepherd's owner."
The subject turned, naturally, to the abruptly hot weather, and those of us who don't have central air conditioning grumbled about the hassle of installing our window units. I asked if anyone had experience with those newfangled portable A/C units that you can wheel around from room to room as needed.
One guest said she had indeed been "eyeballing" them -- but then she went on vacation to Texas last week and instead splurged on a pair of Lucchese cowboy boots.
She sent me this photo when she got home. Not everyone would have made that choice, certainly, but you have to admit, they are pretty darned good-looking.
