Cheesy tattoos
Thu, December 17, 2009 @ 11:49AM
When I turned 18, I figured I'd get a tattoo. Everyone else was doing it, after all, which is a good enough reason to do anything when you're a teenager. But I couldn't decide on something I would want inked on my body for the rest of my life, so I never did it. I stopped thinking about it years ago ... until now. This sandwich shop in Lakewood, Ohio, outside of Cleveland, The Melt Bar & Grilled, has answered that question by offering 25 percent discounts for LIFE to anyone who gets a tattoo of a grilled cheese sandwich. All the people who take them up on this promotion had better hope they don't go out of business soon. The inventor of the grilled cheese sandwich is not known, but it was someone in America during the 1920s. This was when sliced bread and sliced cheese were coming into vogue, and someone had the brilliant idea of putting cheese on bread and melting it. It looks like the U.S. Navy helped popularize them by including them in World War II rations.

Giuliani not running
Wed, December 23, 2009 @ 3:36PM
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has endorsed former U.S. Rep. Rick Lazio for governor, and has also said he will not run for U.S. Senate. According to the New York Times, former state senator Michael Balboni, of Long Island, former Nassau County Legislator Bruce A. Blakeman, and Elizabeth N. Feld, mayor of Larchmont, a village in Westchester County, hope to run against Gillibrand as Republicans. Interestingly, the Times story mentions Warren County District Attorney Kathleen Hogan as a possible Republican candidate for attorney general. It mentions former governor George Pataki and U.S. Rep. Peter King as well: "While Mr. Giuliani mentioned Mr. Pataki and Representative Peter T. King of Long Island as potential challengers to Ms. Gillibrand, those who know Mr. Pataki say the odds of his running are remote. (Efforts to reach Mr. Pataki through a spokesman on Tuesday were unsuccessful.) "Mr. King ruled out a race against Ms.

Annual Good Guys list
Wed, December 23, 2009 @ 12:28PM
As I did last year, I am have compiled a list of people who I think are the ‘good guys’. The list contains men and women, young and old, democrat and republican. Some are repeats, some are new. I apologize if I omit deserving people who I have identified before and inexplicably forgot this year. And they are in no particular order. First on my list is Kenny and Trish Fontana, owners of the Blue Moon Café on Main Street. Just a couple good people, good restaurant, and did you know Kenny used to be on the US Luge team? Bill Peer, who over the last decade has shepherded the SL Fun Runs into what it is today, as well as varsity cross country coach. Today, he has given up these tasks, but still coaches little league baseball in Bloomingdale as well as coaching hockey in the winter. .
