The small peninsula that nobody has ever heard of where I grew up was featured in the New York Times today. Dave Burden, the kayak shop owner, is a buddy of mine (he beat me at Scramble last week.) They didn’t check out my town, Nassawadox, because well, there’s nothing to see there.

A question at quizzo this week was: This song, which sounds sweet but is actually pretty creepy, is Louisiana’s state song. Hint: It was heard in O Brother Where Art Thou. The Answer is “You Are My Sunshine.” Now I remember learning this song as a little child. Kind of funny that I was learning a song about a psycho co-dependent who will probably eventually murder his ex. Check out these lyrics:

I’ll always love you and make you happy
if you will only say the same
but if you leave me to love another
you’ll regret it all some day

You told me once dear you really loved me
that no one else could come between
but now you’ve left me and love another
you have shattered all my dreams.

You’ll regret it all someday? Is that a threat? You have shattered all my dreams? All of them? My God, man, pull it together!

This is their annual issue where they essentially make a Special Advertising section a front page story (Best Doctors.) But there was a good story in this issue about the Geator with the Heater, the Boss With the Hot Sauce, Jerry Blavat. Also, in last months edition, there was an excellent article about Charlie Manuel. A must read for Phillie fans.
