I was spending a perfectly promising Saturday afternoon wasting away in Sephora when my BFF, Perry, called me to say frantically, "have you read Christopher Caldwell's Select All: Can you have too many choices? article from the most recent New Yorker?? to which I replied, "not yet!"

He then read me the following excerpt and ended by editorializing, "it's SO true!" We continued talking for what seemed like hours and what seemed like the millionth time we and every other New York friend of mine have talked about and agreed on this issue of suffering from too many choices.

The following morning I read the article aloud (it is really short by New Yorker standards)...

Of course Jonah responded to the above paragraph by saying, "so it seems like you're lucky because you found those three supposedly unattainable attributes...in me!" :-)

To which I replied, "yes, my dear, you look just like the girl I dated in 1983." J/K! J/K!
