5 THINGS: Hey I’m Back!

I'm now off vacation and back to work.

Here are the Five Things for Monday, March 5, 2012:

“The boy is back in town!” – Thin Lizzy, kind of. I’m off vacation and back to work this week, so if you e-mailed me in the past 10 days or so, expect a response in the next couple of days. Sorry for the delay.

“Half of the American people have never read a newspaper. Half never voted for President. One hopes it is the same half. “ – Gore Vidal. Tonight, you can take part in democracy at , as the town council meets at 7:30 p.m.  There is a proclamation for the 100th anniversary of the Girl Scouts, and a hearing about Clam Jammers possibly violating town liquor ordinances, so really – something for everyone.

“On Monday mornings I am dedicated to the proposition that all men are created jerks.” – H. Allen Smith. Like most Mondays, there isn’t a ton on our events calendar for the day. Maybe you’d like to add something? The sports schedule is also finished up for the most part, with only a few events here and there. Can I interest you in , perhaps? (Note: I did not write that story, which is why it is not full of snide, snarky comments.)

No cheeseburger :( On this day in 1982, John Belushi died. Honor his memory by focusing on the positive, like his speech from Animal House (WARNING: swearing), or Little Chocolate Donuts, or cheeseburger cheeseburger cheeseburger cheeseburger cheeseburger (no Coke, just Pepsi).

Happy birthday Eva Mendes! I had no idea you’re 38. Also, I haven’t seen a single movie you’ve been in, yet I still know who you are… Maybe I should try to get outside a bit more.
