I stolded this from blogger extraordinaire LadyGypsy since, well, I’m pretty much dry on content and I return to work on January 5. Between spending some quality time with the family and running to the hospital to visit Mom (who will be released tomorrow–yay!), I’ve also been pretty busy.
Da rulez for this are as follows:

I’ve seen this one before. You haven’t lived until you’ve eaten caviar. Trust me, the stuff is awesome. (I’d eat it a lot if I were rich) And standing at Times Square is a truly unique experience.

There is a scene from the movie “The Party” in which Peter Sellers’ character of Hrundi V. Bakshi dips his hand into a pile of ice, not knowing caviar was in the middle.
Surprised, his then sniffs his hand, gets a disgusted look on his face and simply says, “Poooo!” That scene runs through my mind whenever I think of caviar 🙂
Times Square, yeah, someday I will stand there. But for now the lights of Vegas will do.
