Bananas taste the best and are the best for you.

Yesterday, I worked as Miss Chiquita Banana at the opening of a Harris Teeter store in southern Delaware. Afterwards, I took a detour east and caught my first look at the Atlantic Ocean from the shore. It's hard to believe, but in the years I've been in the States, I haven't had the chance to see an East Coast beach until now. And what better to do at a deserted windy beach than take a few narcissistic melancholy self-portraits:



And for those of you who want a damn good laugh, here. I have a new-found respect for Carmen Miranda; my hat was filled with fake foam fruit, but it was still incredibly heavy -- and I wasn't even dancing. Carmen must have had a neck of steel.



One more review of the Philadelphia Shakespeare Festival season appeared in the Broad Street Review with some nice comments about me and my headshot right at the top.

I installed a new stereo in my car. I screwed something up and blew a fuse, and in the process of replacing the fuse, I did exactly the same thing as this guy. Thank god for the internet -- until I found that thread, I was driving around town setting off my car alarm every time I accidentally tried to turn on my dome light.

I'm sure I read somewhere that Chiquita were systematically violating workers' human rights, trafficking in cocaine, were in league with the Colombian military in torturing and killing peasant farmers, and were in general the work of Satan (that's Satan the Prince of Darkness not Miroslav Satan the NHL player.) Of course you realise there's only one way out of this ethical dilemma for you - join the Colombian rebel forces. They're short a leader apparently.

Lucas agrees that bananas taste the best and are the best for you. Particularly when aforesaid bananas are on Daddy's toasted pita bread and Daddy is trying to have his breakfast. Not too many meals miss him - his or mine.
