I love the way they have the to go bags hanging on the wall and they are similar to grocery store produce bags. The salad is something of amazement and so simple.

This year I’m thinking about wrapping some of the kids presents with a quilted pattern of leftover pieces. The way they tear through the stuff so fast it’s almost a waste of time wrapping them up in the first place [hey, we’re in a recession] 3) From looking at Mike Snyder, I’m guessing he hasn’t been posting because he doesn’t want to address the results of his diet on the NBC5 website. 4) The article about Romantic Comedies creating unrealistic expectations confirms a belief I’ve always had that too many people confuse their own lives and reality with made-for-TV-families. I read somewhere that people who reflect back on their childhoods in the 1950’s often interweave or replace their own memories with those of the TV sitcom families they grew up watching. 5) I think the whole NORAD tracking of Santa has grown rather lame. Following the demise of the Soviet Union, NORAD only seems to come up at Christmas. 6) Every time I hear “Upgrade” I think of the movie “Idiocracy”. Maya Rudolph’s pimp-boyfriend was named Upgrade 1) A lot of missiles in the old Soviet Christmas cards.

We limit ourselves to only going when we have out of town visitors due to the heart attack factor. But it is truly heaven. If you ever have a BON convention you should have it there.
