What I Learned this Weekend

One thing I love about 3-day weekends is that I can write a "What I Learned This Weekend" post and the weekend isn't even over yet! I know I've gone off on this before, but why o why do we not have 3-day weekends EVERY weekend??

1. The Blueberry Fest in Plymouth, Indiana is the largest annual summer festival in Indiana, attracting around 400K people over the long weekend.
   
2. 400K Hoosiers can't be wrong can they? O yes they can.
3. Forget the Dunkin' Donuts. The Funnel Cake is what all the hip kids will be eating this fall.
4. I miss Paige, former hostess of "Trading Spaces." She needs to come back 'cuz that show ain't the same without her.
5. This whole "jogging as quick/easy way to get back in shape" is not what it used, or is cracked up, to be.
6. It may take a few beers to realize this, but Pat Benatar's "Love is a Battlefield" mini-rock opera video is perhaps one of the greatest pieces of 80's cinematic art ever created. Seriously, they should put it in a time capsule, so that when either aliens or explorers from our post-apocalyptic society find it 500 years from now, that video will show them everything they need to know about life (not to mention music, fashion, hairstyles, attitude, the complexities of father/daughter, gender, and geo-political relations, and the plight of the urban private dancer*) in America in the late 20th Century. It's that good, people.

* OK, maybe not so much "geo-political" part, but the rest of it is so totally true!
