Color me...baroque rose

Pantone Baroque Rose color chipI looked up my 'birthday color' at Pantone to find it's "Baroque Rose" (PMS 18-1634). I was somewhat surprised because it is indeed a color I feel comfortable with (and wearing). The Pantone Colorstrology tool gets you right to your color, with nice supporting descriptions and..of course, it has an astrology write-up for your special day. Mine was right-on! Ha Ha. So, does that make me a superstitious follower of the intuitive arts?

Life's a Marathon: Why not run it?

Running the big race.Advance apologies to all our readers, but I couldn't help myself. The 2006 Chicago Marathon is over and yours truly was a part of it all! Congratulations to everyone who finished (and even had the courage to start). The weather was wicked - 35 degrees, snow flurries and 30mph winds, but there's no re-scheduling this one for a sunnier day, I suppose. Don't worry, I won't post my split-times.
