  • The #supermoon (Perigee moon) was impressive last night. Thought I’d left the outside light on but it was moonlight! http://bit.ly/i4wfoa #
  • Spent the day making corned beef & cabbage. Now St. Patrick’s Day is officially complete. (takes to long to make on a weekday) #
  • AT&T to buy T-Mobile http://bit.ly/gmKdX3 – I chose the Verizon iPad & use a Sprint phone. Wanna bet this deal stills screws me somehow. #
  • Yesterday I was outside checking on the flowers that are coming up. Today I drove to work in hail & sleet. Perhaps winter isn’t over yet. #
  • The diner I’m in has an original Pac-Man arcade game in it. Just another reason Jersey diners are cool. #
  • @EsztikeT We did enjoy it & I also just realized you aren’t a random stranger replying to my tweets! in reply to EsztikeT #
  • This officially the first tweet from my new iPad 2!!! #iPad2 #
  • @ebrantner No light bleeds on my black one. I waited til the iPad 2 to buy one. Happy with it so far! in reply to ebrantner #
  • RT “@feliciaday: Consensus from feedback: Most people don’t understand or use Twitter lists.”- Glad I’m not the only one #
  • Wow, @llbean now has all free shipping! Another reason they’re my favorite store. Other companies should follow suit. http://bit.ly/hJIfa5 #
  • We’re still number 5! Suck on that Phoenix! (just ignore all the rest of the bad news about Philly’s population growth) http://bit.ly/gxSRke #

  • Had a good breakfast at a diner I hadn’t been to before. Golden Pigeon Diner in Bridgeton NJ. Funny name but great food http://bit.ly/cubtpq #
  • It’s Thanksgiving in August. I’m roasting a brined turkey and making cornbread stuffing. #
  • Where the hell did this weekend go? Oh well, at least the turkey and stuffing turned out delicious. #
  • Worst teaser ever, Ice Road Truckers – “Alex has blood on his hands.” Turns out he literally got blood on his hands while helping someone. #

I’m particular partial to a bacon and cheese omelet, with hash browns, some toast and a bottomless cup of diner coffee. However, sometimes you don’t have time to spend in a diner. That’s where my second favorite breakfast place comes into play. I like just about anything from McDonald’s breakfast menu, but the item that most people associate with McDonald’s breakfast is the Egg McMuffin. It was created by Herb Peterson in 1972. After 36 years and more sandwiches sold than he ever imagined, I’m sure, Herb passed away at the age or 89.

    Some people’s legacy is on a headstone, Herb’s will live on on the McDonald’s menu board. :-)

    Read his obituary on CNN.
