As you know, my girlfriend Kim is s soapmaker. After a few years of selling at markets and online, she's finally making the move to an actual store. It's been a fun ride painting the place up and getting it ready and stuff. It opens tomorrow! Kim has done yeowoman's work in making it all happen from scratch. She was on The Rhode Show this morning, all the info is there. Check it proverbially out.

[Edit: as soon as I posted this, I got an e-mail from the Red Sox to season ticket holders, telling me Bobby Valentine has been fired. I wanna give Kim SOME top-of-page exposure, so I'll just leave this here.... Even though I don't know what else the guy could have done (the whole fucking team was injured and the starting pitchers just stank to high heaven), I still in general would prefer pretty much anybody else as I always found him to be an extremely odd man who is on drugs and has a touch of the phonies, so I can't be too sad about it. Gotta start fresh in '13, I guess.]
