...thanks to the girls of Sex and the City. Spend a morning or afternoon in their Manolo Blahniks with the On Locations walking tour of Manhattan. O.K., you don't have to be single to participate, but the tour does celebrate the single life to the max. You can sit on the stoop of Carrie's apartment building, enjoy one of Miranda's beloved cupcakes (from the same bakery featured in the show) and see other singles haunts made famous by the series.

Addressing not just Christmas but all the chilly months, Wintersong is truly a seasonal CD. My favorite pieces are by two of the singer...
...jump right out, but put him in a pot of lukewarm water and heat it gradually, and he'll eventually boil to death. Trouble with that is, how exactly was the second part of that experiment ever performed? It's an awfully lethargic frog that would sit in any pot of water that he could jump out of. Maybe there was a top on the pot and the frog didn't want to push the envelope...
