Soprano's Hangout For Sale

Those lamenting the end of HBO's Sopranos now have the opportunity to own a piece of the show. Tony Soprano's fictional hangout, Satriale's Pork Store, is being razed to make way for a condominium complex named The Soprano. But the owner of the building, Manny Consteira, knows a money-making opportunity when he sees one and is selling the building, brick by brick, before it is destroyed. 2,000 bricks will be offered at $25 to $50 each and will include a serial number and certificate of authentication.

Think this is just a silly idea? Coesteira does, but he also says he has received some angry emails from those who would rather see Tony's hangout remain standing. The bricks should go on sale in September, so I guess those folks can just fuggedaboutit.

Rain Dot Umbrella

April showers bring... the need for a new umbrella. How can you worry about May flowers when your hair is getting wet? Umbrellas are a useful tool that we don't give much thought to until caught in a down-pour and I have never had good luck from the $10 variety peddled by street vendors, no matter that they promise it's a real (insert designer name here). This time, I'm planning in advance. I love this Brick Rain Dot Umbrella from the Seattle company Pare Umbrella. It is 3-feet in diameter when opened and has a gorgeous natural rattan hooked handle. Price: $56.
