A couple weeks ago I offered my leftover Halloween candy to anybody willing to send me their home address.  How many takers?  Two.  Does that number make me worry about my readership?  No.  It makes me proud because America is finally eating healthy again!  We did it!  I only sent the candy to one reader because the other reader’s reply was too late.  So, who won my leftover Halloween candy?!

Straight out of Texas, Darin Brown!  Darin is a longtime reader, former BobBorden.com Christmas card recipient and a candy aficionado.  I thought mailing my leftover candy was a funny joke but it bit me on the ass.  The post office charged me $10.01!  Ha ha.  Anyway, PEOPLE REALLY WIN ON BOBBORDEN.COM!  TELL YOUR FRIENDS!

Have a nice day.

I’m listening to The B-52′s debut album right now. It sounds so great!

These videos are incredible!

Have a nice day!

Another weekend in the books.  Friday my brother stopped by and we had dinner at a local coal oven pizza place.  Delicious.  Saturday Cara and I got in the car and hit the road.  We drove about 40 miles north and enjoyed what was left of the fall foliage.

We hit a couple of shops and then had a lovely dinner in Sleepy Hollow.
We ate at Bridge View Tavern. It was SO good!  The staff was very nice.  I had a braised short rib with mashed potatoes. It was 14 ounces of heaven on a plate. Great place.

Sunday we relaxed.

Have a nice day.

I watched the Country Music Awards last night. My head is still spinning from all that down home country humor! It seemed like most of the acts were playing to backing tracks. I hate that so much. Country music is like wrestling, it’s a cash machine. The singers look like models and it seems like nobody writes their own tunes. There were a lot of songs about truck ownership. I’m sure all of the singers probably drive Mercedes-Benzes. Anyway, who cares.
You know what stinks, why do I need to know ABC’s Elizabeth Vargas is in rehab? She seems so off the radar, just let her go away and get better without the press. Why is it a news story? I doubt anybody noticed or cared that she hasn’t been at her 20/20 desk for a few weeks.  Once again, society stinks.

OK, time for something positive! I just had a great thing happen to be at Dunkin’ Donuts:
ME: I’d like a large coffee and one chocolate frosted donut, please.
DD: Would you rather have two chocolate frosted donuts? Same price.
ME: Yes.
And, scene.

Have a great day!

Billy Joel, New Year’s Eve, Brooklyn. Now this sounds like a fun concert! The pre-sale started yesterday morning. I found out about the pre-sale at 8 PM. Guess what? I ain’t going!
More tickets go on sale this weekend but do I want to be in the loser seats on New Year’s Eve? I don’t know. I don’t care about New Year’s Eve. I just want to see Billy Joel. My own fault.

Have a nice day!
