It was an exciting first week of National Blog Posting Month, so let’s go meta and make day 7’s post a review of the first week of posts. I like to think of this recap as being ‘meta’ because it sounds much more fancy than what it really is: “a lazy excuse to get out a post before we drive to New York”.
The week commenced with a journalistic investigation into the loose standards for cooking awards, called: Hey James Beard, what’s with all of the Awards?
From there, we got all pop-culturey and talked about our lasting love for the great mystery shows of the 1980s in Magnum, P.I.’s Short Shorts and the Golden Age of Television
From Magnum’s Hawaii to James A. Michener’s Hawaii, day 3 featured our serious (really!) political argument: Can We Just Give Hawaii and Alaska Back Already?
Sensing a New York Yankees victory in the air, I wanted to preempt any celebrations with The Red Sox Fan’s Guide to Delivering Snappy Responses to Yankees Fans if (when) the Yankees win the World Series, and sure enough, the hated Stankees did win the World Series the very next day. I guess my reverse jinx didn’t work.
While humor is my preferred form, I also love writing about music, and on day 5 I finally unveiled my long-held theory about Ambrosia being the only band in the world that managed to produce 3x one-hit wonder songs in: The Curious Case of a Band Called Ambrosia, the World’s Only Three-Hit Wonder
Finally, the first week came to an end with a discussion about the end…times in: Will the World Finally Come to an End Already?
Thank you for reading these essays. You’ll be happy to know that there’ll be more original (and let’s be honest, probably some recycled) content coming tomorrow.

On a side note, when hosting a pizza party, please plan on one large pie per 3 adults and split the order 50/50 between cheese and pepperoni. This ensures that you have enough pizza and you cover the vegetarians. Any weird-ass goat cheese-carmelized onion monstrosities should be ordered in addition to the base cheese-pepperoni pies.
