Wednesday Dottles
We haven't done a Wednesday Dottles for a while, so here goes:
1. The importance of Tastykakes in my life cannot be overstated.
2. The Maryland Legislature last week issued an apology expressing "profound regret" that Maryland once "trafficked in human flesh." A lot of white folks in Maryland think the apology was unnecessary since they had nothing to do with slavery. They need to rethink.
3. It looks like I'll have to mow the lawn this weekend. My life in hell resumes.
4. Not to give the band additional grief after the suicide of Brad Delp, but I always expected more out of Boston.
5. Akeelah and the Bee is worth watching. Spelling is not my strong suit. I've always had trouble with "embarrassment", ible/able words, and ence/ance words. Stranger Than Fiction was the last movie I saw that I gave 5-stars to using the Netflix scale.
6. Sanity reigns. The FCC ruled to continue the prohibition on cell phone use in airplanes. At the risk of exposing my ageism and sexism, young people, especially young women, seem to have the most inane, pointless cell phone conversations I could ever imagine.
7. I would like to know what kind of person takes Bill O'Reilly seriously. Really. Who are these people?
8. Check out one of my favorite photo blogs: Blue Ridge blog. I could be as good a photographer as she is if I only had her material (and technique and eye for light and composition skill and...).
9. I'm sensing grilled bratwursts in the not-too-distant future. It's about time.
10. The Orioles are already breaking my heart despite a good spring. Prediction: Manager Sam Perlozzo won't last the season.

3) Mine resumed this past weekend. Welcome to Hell.
4) Me, too. Saw them several times between their first and second albums. I thought they had something.
6) My sentiments exactly.
9) Put that on your list of things don't eat.
Should read things I don't eat.
Nice post. I grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia, and I think there was hardly a time in my childhood that there weren't Tasty Cakes in our house. My mother was a real desert junkie. My favorites were the chocolate covered ones with peanut butter and a bit of yellow cake - I think they were called Tandy Takes.
Thanks for the link to the Blue Rigde Blog. I'd like to have that much talent.

Have a great weekend.
