  On the Health bill that passed... why did the Democrats compromise with Republicans even though only 1 Republican voted for the bill? What's the point of compromising then?

  @drdoombot Well, that’s actually interesting as many of the Blue Dog Dems voted against the HRA. Which makes the compromise – most notably on the Stupak Amendment – all the more frustrating. NYT has an interesting graphic showing which Dems voted against it: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2009/11/08/us/politics/1108-health-care-vote.html?hp Well, it’s a step forward regardless – politics is the art of the possible, as the saying goes.

  I want to start surfing this summer, what board should I start with?

  I learned on a 9’ longboard – that said, I’m 5’ tall, so hopping up on something nearly twice my height was very helpful! I think a funboard is a great idea, although I agree you should rent a board first – I don’t think anyone should actually buy a funboard, long-term it doesn’t make any sense. Unless you buy it used and for really cheap! Good luck! Surfing can be frustrating at first but super addicting once you’ve gotten some good rides in. :)

  How many books do you read/year for pleasure?

  Somewhere between 10–20 a year. I’d read more if I had a tad more time…although right now I’m in the middle of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, which technically contains five books….so I guess my number will go up! I think I’m going to invest in a Kindle, which is lighter and a little more conducive to me being able to throw it in my purse and read on the bus.

  Drinks that you can make with Limoncello? Cocktail recipes?

  Mix with iced tea! Sweet tea if you like that kind of thing (and I do).

  Ideas for decorating a long narrow hallway?

  I’ve got some some very shallow ledge shelves with some candles and stuff on it. One day I will actually finish decorating my apartment, but those shelves were a start!
