• Space Pen

  

  Designed in 1965 for NASA, the space pen will “write upside down, under water, over grease, in freezing cold, boiling heat, and in outer space.” Of course, the Russians just gave their astronauts pencils. But a No. 2 won’t wow the crowd at a cocktail party, friends.

  MOTHER'S DAY GIFT GUIDE 2008

  I know you’ve seen these babies everywhere, but a friend of mine mentioned that they’re terrific for homes with kiddos. All the romance of candlelight, none of the open flame. Good point. They turn on when you lift them from the charging base, and last for about for five hours. They also turn on instantly during a power failure.

  If you prefer the look of votives, they make those too.

• Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair

  

  by Pablo Neruda An excerpt from one of my favorite poems, “Tonight I Can Write” “I no longer love her, that’s certain, but how I loved her.
  My voice tried to find the wind to touch her hearing. Another’s. She will be another’s. As she was before my kisses.
  Her voice, her bright body. Her infinite eyes. I no longer love her, that’s certain, but maybe I love her.
  Love is so short, forgetting is so long.”
