Wendy’s has a new television commercial in high rotation right now for something called a Frescata Sandwich. Now, first, I don’t think I’d make a habit of eating anything with scat in the name. I’m just sayin’… Second, it’s advertised as being made with something called “artisan” bread. Now, correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t the descriptor “artisan” imply that one might expect said bread to be handcrafted by an actual artisan? Highly unlikely, so I’m calling Bullshit.

Letters to Esther Update
I’ve transcribed and scanned a few more letters.
There was an outbreak of diphtheria in the spring of 1920, and the March 14 letter from Esther’s mother shows her concern for her children’s well being as well as sadness at the death of a local child from the disease. That, and her description of how much Ruth misses her big sister are awfully sweet.
Your Patriotic Duty
For the Hoosiers among us, please take a little time from your schedule to vote in tomorrow’s primaries. Polls are open 6am-6pm, so there is no excuse for not voting.
Jethro
I got this from the Nick Cave listserve (um, yeah, I know). His 15yo son, Jethro (Jethro! Of all things!) Lazenby is trying modelling on for size. For friends and family, he’s a dead ringer for Gabe, back when he had long hair.
Now, to commence waiting for the DVD release of The Proposition.
