Screamin Jay Hawkins - I Put A Spell On You
on youtube
I don't really have much to say these days on here. I think I may be too old for blogging anymore. But, there are lots of really great videos on the internet (mostly on youtube, of course) that I would like to share with the approx 5 readers out there. So, I think I am going to start posting some of my favorites, and some that are just plain interesting.

Homemade
This weekend I was at La Trattoria Bohemia, and the sandwich I ordered came with a side of "homemade" potato salad. How can it be homemade if it's made in a restaurant? What does that imply about the rest of their food? Don't get me wrong, I love the place. But I think the "homemade" designation on restaurant food is peculiar.
