More on Rachael Ray, not that anyone wants more...
But after reading last week's column on Rachael Ray, a friend sent an email explaing that the Oxford Dictionary plans to add EVOO as a new word. Who ever says EVOO, other than Rachael Ray? This might be the first time in recorded human history that a word which only one person uses is added to a dictionary. Here is proof the Oxford dictionary people just wanted to promote their dictionary on her show, er, I mean, compile a comprehensive list of English words.

One last thought about the Patriots. The way they played this year, it seemed like they would be one and out in the playoffs. So making it to the AFC Championship game, and nearly winning it, was overachieving. Not a bad season when your favorite team plays every week except the by-week and the Super Bowl. By the way, if the football season lasted as long as baseball does, the NFL would still be playing regular season games until March 11th, with the Super Bowl being played sometime in mid April. The shorter season and the fact that a third otakes place over the holidays (yes, during ThankChristmaYear) makes the season fly by.
