I was at the gym today, putting in one last hurrah for 2011. It struck me, while looking across the gym from the vantage point of the whirlpool, that there were a couple guys wearing Jack Daniel's T-shirts. It was odd enough to make it feel lke the gym was maybe the site of some clever promotional effort on New Year's Eve... Then again, I was wearing a Guinness T-shirt. There must've been some promotion - for real - at a nearby bar or club last night. On another nutrition note, after the gym I stopped by a national pharmacy chain to get some calcium tablets for my mom. I also picked up a couple boxes of Skittles to help ring in the new year (woo-hoo!), but I was appalled by the price gouging in the confection aisle. Let's see. It's a full buck for a 2-ounce package. But across and down the aisle were 4-ounce boxes for "only" $1.59 (that price plummets to $1.50 each if ya buy two). Yeah. Had to go "jumbo" with this one. Times two. Bring on 2012 and the apocalypse. I've got Skittles. I'm ready. |

Heard about this on the radio and it's pretty awesome.  Dang. She even has her own logo! Amelia Earhart is a local traffic reporter (and, yes, a distant relative to the legendary aviator Amelia Earhart). Today she's set off on a trek to retrace a portion of her ancestor's journeys. Check out her progress on her site: amelia.pilotmag.com. People following their bliss and making exciting things happen. That's what Mattopia is all about. Bon voyage, Amelia! |
