Last Thursday, on February 27, the ever entertaining Steven Kurutz was kind enough to include me in his New York Times article, “Analyzing the Couch.”
The online version doesn’t really do it justice; you have to click through to the terrific graphics.

How do YOU think I’d respond, Gentle Readers?

Seriously? This guy is asking about choosing furniture with a “future spouse” in mind? Sorry. I don’t get that.
How do I think YOU would respond? I’m betting, dear Annie, that you’d tell him the couch is for those living with it here and now. Theoretical, future spouses need not be accounted for.
