Superbowl ads suck

Except for the one with Betty White (hilarious) and the Doritos nacho man made me laugh outloud. It was so unexpected! The worst of the worst? It's a tossup between Tim Tebow with Focus on the the Family (yuck) and Dodge Charger. Luckily for us, there's a spoof of the Charger ad where women get their say. Funny. And educational.

Best speech yet?

Wow. The President begins around 15:00 but the whole service is worth watching. Do they have Aaron Sorkin from 10 years ago locked in the basement of the White House? Or is Jon Favreau as obsessed with President Bartlett as everyone else from my generation? I'm actually guessing that, just like the breath-catching speech on race delivered during the campaign, this one is a solo writing credit for Obama. Either way, it'll be worth revisiting when health care politics are driving you crazy.

Hiatus

I'm crawling into a literary hole for the next few days due to what arrived in my mailbox yesterday:

Not even the return of fall tv can keep me away. I may be posting a blueberry oat bran muffin recipe, but no promises. Until my return I recommend perusing my recent less then 300 hundred word reviews at Goodreads.

Happy Birthday Helen!

In honor of her 89th birthday. The good stuff starts at 1:32. And Helen will rock your socks off beginning at 3:35.
