Fashion mystery I think pants are getting longer. They almost drag if you wear them the length they're supposed to be, and today I noticed 2 college-age girls wearing pants that were dragging. (At the Addison L stop, eww!) My tailor always wants to hem my slacks long "in case you wear them with high heels." But I think it looks kind of stupid to wear 4-inch heels and have all but the bottom inch covered by crumply pant leg, which is what all the Wrigleyville blondes do. I once heard somebody refer to that look as "Mrs. Captain Hook." Plus nobody gets to see your shoes.

I was at work reheating a turkey burger and someone asked what it was. I said, "It's a turkey burger. It's this great recipe with wheat germ and onions, and you serve it with a yogurt-sundried tomato sauce." She said, "Oh, are you a vegetarian?"

I said as conversationally as possible, "No, it's real turkey."
