Well with Halloween just around the corner somebody at my office thankfully took it upon themselves to replenish the candy bowl. I'd like to say that I am ecstatic at the selection. I mean it's an all-star lineup of candy. A who's who of the sugar community if you will.

Skittles
Sour Skittles
Starburst
Sour Starburst
Sweet tarts
Nerds

Why did Willy Wonka stop with Nerds? Why not have Dorks, Geeks, or Dweebs? Well wikipedia once again proved to be super useful. It turns out that they ran out a cavity causing candy in the early 90's by the name of Dweebs. Apparently it was just too close to Nerds and the product sadly disappeared from shelves.

Charm City: Well I made it up to Baltimore last night since Kary was staying at the Westin. I'm not sure why people live in Maryland but it seems like a lot of people still do. We had a great dinner at Ciao Bella. As usual I ate almost of the pre-dinner bread. It's sorta my thing. The couple behind us were on some sort of awkward first date that evidently involved a lot of surfing lies. I was kinda waiting for Kary to call the guy out on his constant fibbing but she refrained.

We also tried to figure out how the US could advance out of the group stage at the next world cup. I can only hope that Bob Bradley was somewhere trying to figure out different lineups and formations in some secret US Soccer Compound in the mountains around Rushmore. Unfortunately for us he was most likely on Google vehemently searching for ways to keep Eddie Lewis forever young.

Awesome.
