Happy Birthday USA

I can't believe it's already that time of year. Summer is in full swing and we're celebrating the 4th of July again. It was a quiet day, but a good one. I was able to spend time with Jeff and my family, and relax.

This has always been a special holiday. When I was little my dad used to take me and my little sister to a local parade in the morning and then we'd usually end up at a family barbecue. But the most important thing about this holiday is to remember what a great country this truly is and how fortunate I am to live here.

Thank you to all of the men and women who bravely serve our country every day. Have a happy 4th of July everybody!

BLAHVOCADO

If you love avocado then the Subway sandwich below looks pretty good right?

The problem is that real Subway sandwiches with avocado are more like blahvocado sandwiches. I love Subway and when I saw the ads for these mouth-watering sandwiches I was ecstatic. But when I asked about how they prepare the avocado I was sorely disappointed. All they do is add a few slices of avocado to your sub and pass it on down the line.

The images in the latest ad campaign show piles of yummy avocado on top of the meat and vegetables, but that's not quite how the real sandwiches look. I know that there is a lot that goes into dressing up food for ads, but come on. Shouldn't they try a little harder? It doesn't take much to mash up some avocado and spread it on to a sandwich. I still love Subway, but I think a little more effort should be put into accurately advertising its products.
