A mention of home ...
Today Liz came home for lunch. Unfortunately the TV schedule seems to have changed and NewsRadio is no longer on at 12:30. Thus, we had to find something new to watch. (Sorry Watching Ellie but I'd rather be "Watching Paint Dry").

We flipped around for a bit and landed on the TV channel that plays the Today Show live. But it wasn't time for the Today Show yet, it was still the early-ass morning news, which I have fogotten the name of so let's call it the NBC Early-Ass Morning News.

Anyway, towards the end of the show, the marginally talented 4th rate vaguely-ethnic woman anchor says something like, "And if you're watching on WCSH in Portland, Maine, don't forget about today's Cumberland County Fair."

They went on to say something about a pumpkin display, and then the 8th rate white male even-less-talented-than-Stone-Phillips co-anchor made some weird comment about, "Is it time for pumpkins again?"

The lady anchor just looked at him with awe and confusion. I'm telling you, this guy was a younger and dumber Ted Baxter.

Anyway, Liz and I sat in disbelief that they're talking about Maine on the TV. Sadly, it's not the Fryeburg Fair (October 1-8, Fryeburg Fairgrounds, Fryeburg, Maine). But hey, it's something ...
