Randomness

So, sitting at Cafe Nero having my Sunday cappuccino reading the Observer, and the front article of the food section was about Paul Newman and Newman's own. Really interesting, funny stuff. Apparently, it all started out as a joke with AE Hotcher, who somewhere along the line has a tie to Wash U (along with Tennessee Williams and TS Eliot...how we became a science school is beyond me). Anyway, he and Hotcher mixed a bathtub full of the stuff and gave it away as Christmas presents on strangers doorsteps in their Connecticut town--including Martha Stewart's....and voila...big business--all to charity, what type of charities, not so sure, except that they are medicine related.
