Cuba's popular salsa band, Los Van Van, has been playing for 35 years and they are still the hottest dance number in town, drawing 5,000 people of all ages to an open-air birthday bash.

- A few years ago, I picked up a drop-leaf end table at the annual Bryant Homestead craft festival.

- As many of you have no doubt heard or read, the FCC is considering allowing people to use cell phones on airplanes. I have mixed feelings about this. Initially, my only thought was how unbelievably annoying it would be for half the people on an airplane to be screaming into their cell phones at once, within the cramped confines of a jet, for 2 or 3 hours. Think of how chafed you get when just a couple of people near you on a plane have a loud conversation, and then multiply that by 50. Even if the passengers could take it, the flight crews would start raging like third-shift postal workers. |

Ah, irony is not a lost art: FOXBlocker is an innovative new product that filters out the FOX News network. |
