but isn't it pretty bad newsletter writing if NONE of the locales is identified in the piece?

Not if they want you to pay money for the whole article. It's teaser copy. Just enough to get your interest. Or, in this case, retirees interest. A pretty picture and just enough info to get your attention but not enough that you can figure out where it is without subscribing (unless, of course, you recognize a picture) to their newsletter.

Of course if that piece is written by the Sayulita Commission, it's crap. Because it doesn't tell you where to visit.

So I guess my answer depends.

the stage manager is 2 rows in front of me with a bowl of what smells like red beans & rice. It smells yummy. I am hungry. Dinner break isn't for another 90 minutes. TORTURE! Oh the agony!

Interesting article on credit scores: FICO Reveals How Common Credit Mistakes Affect Scores

I have a house (yay!) with a fully functional bathroom (double yay!) and am all moved in (triple yay!) and posted photos on lj, link to which is posted on facebook. Internets has been purchased and is up and running and i think that might mean i'm back :) I have, however, skipped awhole lotta posts.

Felt the need to share that it must be the season, for i had an ACC anxiety dream last night entirely centered around how much of an a**hole that director was. I still have bad feelings towards him which i thought i had gotten past. But apparently, no. Two ACC-free years later. oh well!

Happy belated-overstuffing day to all the USians. We had a riot at Toys R Us Thursday night. Seriously. People need to calm down about the shopping.

Yay for all those house-related yays!

Yay, erin! Congratulations! I hope you are very happy in your new home.

That's great, erin! May your time in the house be long and happy.

Erin, it helps doing a version of ACC with a different director. This version of the show is much nicer, and the director is a ton better. Sorry you are still having nightmares.

Calli- tons of health~ma for your b-i-l.
