twice in one day!
January 10th, 2010
Not just one hit in today’s Newark Star Ledger. Although that would be enough (Diyenu! says the shiksa). I do have an op ed running in the Sunday paper today (click on the article picture to read – no squinting necessary). So yes, I am excited about that.
BUT WAIT. There is more.
On page 10 of Section A you will find our second hit. Thus the title of this post.
You see, last year around this time, we had a commercial shoot in our home. And while I remember the nice check we recevied, I also have very fond memories of learning the definition of the phrase “Craft Services.” This means that the cast and crew who spent two full days in our home ate like complete pigs the whole time they were here. But not just any food. Omelettes, baked muffins, homemade soups. I think there may have even been a pig on a spit. Not sure.
Fortunately the cast of the commercial steered clear of the craft services – our porch furniture may not have held up.
Anyway, here is a photo taken on our porch of some woman who had used Chantix as a tool to stop smoking. If you go to their website, there are a number of videos posted – all taken in our living room.
I need to tell you that I think Eileen kind of squealed when she saw the Chantix ad. I don’t remember squealing when we landed on the op ed. I’m just sayin.
