Will blog for food

Across the nation, people are celebrating. Today, of course, is the day we salute Duke’s elimination from the NCAA basketball tournament. It seems to come earlier every year.

If you’d like to celebrate with wine, you could first try testing your taste buds. Experts can find the right wine for your palette using a process called “getting your buds done.”

Caution: If you go to British Columbia, “getting your buds done” might have a whole different meaning.

If food is your thing, you could try starting a blog. Food companies have noticed that word-of- mouth can spread quickly on the Internet. As a result, they’ve been trying to curry favor by sending free samples to bloggers.

On a related note, you can now find us at YummyMilkshakes.­blogspot.com.

But some people aren’t celebrating. It seems growing numbers of people in their 40s and 50s are being forced to move back in with Mom and Dad. Some are even moving back into their old bedrooms.

At least their parents won’t yell at them to turn that loud music down. They can’t hear it anymore.
