For many of us, life feels as full as the succulent local abundance of this season's harvest - think strawberries, raspberries, cherries, fresh carrots, spinach, broccoli, cabbage, tender spring greens and the memories of the asparagus crop.

Men, and I don't mean just any males, should not be taken out in public on a trip to purchase undergarments with their wives. Bad things will happen. OK, maybe not bad things, but things you don't want happening. Unfunny things. I went bra shopping today, and I took my husband with me. Generally this isn't something I do.

And by setting my cellphone alarm for just after 6 a.m., I figured I couldn't go wrong.br>Well, my cellphone running out of batteries in the middle of the night changed all that.
