Okay, am I the only one who did not know that our President, was (maybe is) a smoker? According to Albert B. Southwick, in the Telegram, "Barack Obama, trying to quit cigarettes, admits to sneaking an occasional smoke." I don't know how I missed this, being a former smoker myself. Here's my big question....if Mr. Obama had openly smoked on the campaign trail, would he have been elected President?
And BTW, this is really old news. I found another post on ABC's blog that is dated June 10, 2008. This blog states that he had been "open about his smoking past". Still shaking my head that I missed this one!

What a sad day in the world of Ezra (Better Than Ezra that is)
What a sad, sad day this is in the Ezralite world to hear that Travis McNabb, Better Than Ezra's drummer (according to The Times-Picayune) is leaving to take a full-time job with country band Sugarland. I've had the pleasure of meeting Travis on several occasions and I can tell you, he is not only an impressive drummer, he is a great guy with a lot of class.
The really sad part of this is that Better Than Ezra is finally coming out with a new CD, in May, and we will not be seeing Travis on their tour. They haven't had a new CD since "Before the Robots" in 2005.
Travis' last performance with Better Than Ezra is Sunday, February 15, 2009. His replacement is Michael Jerome.
Wishing you the best of luck in your new job, Travis. Sugarland is lucky to have you!

Dr. Oz on GMA
I just love Dr. Oz! I've only seen him a few times, but every time I see him he says stuff that just makes sense! If you didn't happen to catch him on Good Morning America yesterday, you really missed it. I don't know if I had previously missed his sense of humor, if he just developed a sense of humor or if what I saw yesterday was not intended to be funny, but boy did I laugh! I hadn't laughed that hard for quite some time!
He was talking to a group of men about health. He said, "You men have an advantage over women; you have a dipstick for health." There was enough of a pause that I said to myself, dipstick, hmmmm..... he can't be talking about a penis. Sure enough, he then said, "It's called your penis." I have to say, I was shocked to hear him say that, well...on Good Morning American anyway. He went on the explain that if the arteries were working properly in that area it should mean they are working properly every where else.
It gets better. He went on to measure a couple of the guys around the waist. He said our waists should be 1/2 the size of our height. While he was standing there after measuring the second man he said, "for every 35 pounds you lose, you gain one inch down here", as he took his tape measure and motioned as if he was measuring the guys penis. Then he said, "Because you can see it again." I chuckled off and on throughout the day as these images popped in and out!

Iman Crossman
I just love Iman Crossman. If you don't know who he is, he is President Obama's dancing, singing impersonator. He seems like a great, classy guy. If you haven't seen him yet, youtube him!
UPDATE 10-12-09: Iman, where are you?

Bonnie Newman to be Judd Gregg's successor
According to the Union Leader Bonnie Newman is scheduled to become Judd Gregg's successor, which will be announced by Governor Lynch at a 4:30 pm conference. The Union Leader further comments, "Newman, 63, was Sen. Judd Gregg's chief of staff when he was in the US House in the 1980's." Reading the Union Leader article, it looks like her resume is quite lengthy. Don't know why I had never heard of her until today.
Florida Avacados and Pineapples
As I'm cutting up and tasting a pineapple, it occurs to me that this is the second one in a row that tasted absolutely delicious! I know that Florida Avocados are in season and delicious at this time of the year (well January), but I did not know this would be a great time to be buying pineapples. I did find, at Produce Pete, that there are several seasons for pineapples: April/May for Hawaiian pineapples and December - February and August/September for Caribbean pineapples. Checking the tag, sure enough, this one is a "product of Costa Rica". I'll have to pay better attention to when pineapples are the best!

Happy Groundhog Day! The news is in, Punxsutawney Phil managed to see his shadow, even though it was cloudy. Six more weeks of winter. Personally, I think there are only six (or seven) more weeks until spring!
