1) Couscous is the best food invention in the world. I could eat it everyday for the rest of my life!
2) Jeopardy is seriously slacking on creating challenging questions.
3) The Regis and Kelly show is just about the most obnoxious, mind-numbing television program on daytime television. But grandma likes to watch it in the morning before her exercise class at the community lodge. She also turns the volume up to the maximum level so that Kelly’s abrasive voice resounds throughout the entire house. Today Mrs. Ripa spent 30 long minutes lamenting her children's recent outbreak of hair lice, after which I felt so enriched [cue sarcasm]. I think Kelly should visit a third-world country and re-evaluate her life.
4) Can you tell that I’ve been watching a lot of gameshows with the G-‘rents?
5) My grandma is a speed monster in her Kompressor. Every fiber of my being tenses up when she starts driving, but by the sheer grace of God we arrive safely at our destinations. When she drives through green lights, she shouts - "The Queen is in town, let me through." She cracks me up.
6) Pat Sajak (the chipper host of “Wheel of Fortune”) is a native Maryland-er and contributed lots of cash to the local hospital here. My grandparents say there’s a center within the hospital named in his honor, and that he and his family live right down the road.
7) Fareed Zakaria is pretty cool.
8) Life is good here in Annapolis :)
