Wasn't cerise supposed to be the "in" color this year? I thought I read that somewhere...

If the garish purple (red side of purple, or purple side of red) I see above for cerise is accurate, I think I would have to assassinate the president if I were married to him/her just to never have to see such a room again.

Not to worry. Nixon had the cerise ripped out and replaced with a dull boring red. (Most of Jackie's tastefull and elegant decor was re-done under Nixon for no other reason than he hated the Kennedys - That and he wanted something more "imperial".)

Red Jackie! I knew they were communists!

Our old local Dance Hall was decorated in a shade called "Shid Cerise"

Seems I have an extra guest pass for D23 on Saturday. Anyone wanna go with me?

I went to lunch at the little coffee shop by our house that we like. While I was eating, two women were seated at the table next to me. They started complaining to each other that there were "foreign" dishes on the menu.

"What the heck is TAL-ah-pee-ah, anyway?"

Then they asked the waitress that to "turn off that noise" (classic rock) and "change it to a nice Christian or country station."

I think they were in the wrong part of town.

Well, I'm still amazed that tilapia has suddenly in popularity here. I still think of it is as a dirty little fish advocated for aquaculture because it is hardy enough to survive in water you really don't want to be eating fish out of.

Did she?

No. She talked to the owner, but he just shook his head and walked away.
