I feel like Uncle Joey from Full House, 'cause all I have to say is: "WOH!"

Brrrr-mont exposed me as the California raisin that I am. I was there shooting a cooking show and had the opportunity to stargaze far from city lights and other modern- day amenities like television, telephones, and internet service. For all of this state’s natural beauty, my favorite thing about it came in the form of a commercial drink. It’s an awesome Maple Seltzer that I found at a General Country Store. It’s pure, distilled maple sap – not sweet ‘t’all like a soda and perfect for sipping on the picturesque rocking chairs of my porch. Drinking it kind of made me want to fire walk and do jazz hands simultaneously – and no I am not a masochistic gay man. I don’t think that would have gone over too well with the locals.

My friend's spoof of our TV show is a wonderfully exaggerated representation of (mis)adventures in Rupert, Vermont.

Who knew that Koreans are such fans of my second favorite food? Although, another listening of this song may just change my mind.

Can you guess my first favorite food?
Hint: That song isn't as good

Today, I received a frighteningly "inspirational" video text message, complete with Atari-like, God music. The video was of gray footprints (no feet though) making their ominous way along the sand of an overcast beach - I was hoping the feet would lead me to a free prescription of Xanax or something like a pot of gold at the end of a beatific rainbow - no such luck. However, the text urged me to spread the Word to at least 7 others. For a second there, I struggled against a fear that those benevolent footsteps might turn into nasty, bird-dogging demons during my sleep. Fortunately, a more level-headed friend, who knows that I don't really need a happy pill, nor do I require a pot of gold to purchase a Cartier watch for myself and all of my closest friends, and I certainly am no purveyor of Logos, sent me this awesome video. If I had my way with the world, we'd all be doing something sorta like this.

It's Mother's Day today and if this lovely little crooner doesn't make you want to procreate, nothing will. By the way, Mother's Day in the U.S. was initially intended to unite women against war. Julia Ward Howe was a social activist who wrote a Mother's Day Proclamation in 1870 to promote peace and disarmament. President Woodrow Wilson made the holiday official in 1914.

My Two Favorite News Stories This Week:

Heavenly Flight
Attempting to raise money for a rest stop for religious truckers, 41 year old Brazilian priest, Adelir Antonio de Carli, was carried off by 1,000 helium balloons and is still lost at sea. What, precisely, would those truckers have reflected upon at this prospective rest stop? Perhaps God just did not approve of any rest for the weary truckers. Alternatively, God may be making a statement against the insensitive use of helium during a time when bright-faced birthday boys and girls in first world countries are being charged up the ying yang for this golden gas.
