Yankee Candle Village in Deerfield, MA literally has miles and miles of candles. I’m still not sure exactly why…

We had dinner at Ninety Nine, which gives bowls of popcorn while you decide what you’re going to order. Our server was named Lisa-Lou.

[Editor’s Note: I set up Flickr + Wordpress to allow me to immediately blog photos and updates during my vacation via my cellphone. Enjoy!]
CBS Chief Isn’t Worried About YouTube or Google — ‘As Long as We Get Paid’: “Genuine user-generated content — like the guys from OK Go dancing on the treadmills, which I liked a lot — I don’t think poses any threat… If there’s a one-minute clip of CSI, or user-generated clips like different shots of David Caruso taking off his glasses, that’s great promotion. If they were showing a whole episode of CSI and we weren’t getting paid, we’d object.” Les Moonves actually seems to have a great handle on things, which, frankly, is surprising for Big TV.

Donald Trump doesn’t wait to be fired, quits “The Apprentice”
Donald Trump didn’t wait for NBC to cancel The Apprentice — instead he issued a statement saying he quits:
Donald Trump, whose low-rated reality show “The Apprentice” was left off the new prime-time schedule unveiled this week by NBC, says the network can’t fire him—he quits.
The real estate mogul issued a statement on Friday saying he has informed the U.S. television network he is “moving on from ‘The Apprentice’ to a major new TV venture,” though he declined to elaborate. […]
“It looks like viewers will have to wait to see what Mr. Trump plans for the future,” the statement said. “But if Mr. Trump’s past TV success is any indication of the future, then one can anticipate that millions of ‘Apprentice’ fans will be migrating to his new venture.”
Sure, his “new venture”… you know, the one that he and Mark Burnett are still trying to think of for next year? What a lame way for Trump to quit before being fired, as it were.
Its too bad The Apprentice got cancelled, although it sort of jumped the shark when they had to pull it out of New York City and put up tents in the backyard.
