Rant; The local NY Tv news, in a fight for ratings, are doing these scuzzy stories & touting "news x exclusive-you'll only see this here" WHO CARES???I'm so sick of irresponsible reporting & "uncovering" scandals that aren't scandals.

Rave: We leave for our first car trip to Fla. on Sunday. (Tips from GoTravel & Scarlett??) I'll open a thread.

Rant: Another freakishly cold blast of Artic air is making a beeline to Boston. I am so tired of being cold.

Rave: As always my kids - I love those 2 knuckleheads.

Rave: Celebrating 17 years of marriage this weekend to the father of the above mentioned knuckleheads. We're heading to Boston to be tourists in our own town once again. Can't wait to hit the North End. My stomache is rumbling already.

Rant:That knome is a rip off from Amelie nothing too creative in that commercial. If you saw the connection right away there is nothing freaky either, just a stab at pulling in the artsy crowd.

Cassidy, if you like that Quizno's commercial, there's more stuff just like that at this website: www.rathergood.com. I don't know if it's the same guy's handywork, but it sure looks like it!!
