We got our glider (chair and stool) at the Fair Oaks Fair for $35. Wife's sister redid the cushions. I guess that sums up Noe Valley in a nutshell, doesn't it?

"The thing about gliders is that most people don't buy one except when they are visualizing nursing a baby in one." NOT TRUE!!! I'm pretty much allergic to kids and I adore my glider! ... and my cat does too. Should I be worried that HIS 18-year-old MALE (neuter, actually) ass is thinking about conceiving?

You know expecting parents are the biggest market for completely bullshit marketing concepts. I seemed to have turned out just fine with only a rocking chair. And the rocking chair at least doesn't make you look stupid. This is the Baby Einstein of chairs -- completely useless but still coveted because of a whole series of fear instilled in modern parents that their child might not get into Harvard without it.
