If you are like me. You are not happy about it being Monday morning. Can anyone from over on the other side of the world let me know if I can expect things to improve since it’s already Tuesday where you are.
I’ve taken the low road, inserting a photo of Jeremy Bloom. If the caffeine you are ingesting doesn’t get your blood moving, a picture of Jeremy will. You may thank me now. 🙂

Last year at this time Smith & Wollensky opened their second location in Fort Point Channel at Atlantic Wharf. The restaurant is large – 10,000 sq feet – complete with an outdoor patio near the water and oyster bar. A working lunch with colleagues is what brought me to Smith & Wollensky (sometimes my job has great perks).
The staff was very helpful through out, making the entire experience pleasurable. Smith & Wollensky’s lunch menu includes more than a dozen starters ranging from smoked Clam Chowder – $9 to an appealing looking tuna crudo on Himalayan Salt Block – $17 (mental note to try that on my next trip). Salads, sandwiches, seafood and of course their filet mignon as well as other red meat classics round out the lunch menu options.
I opted to carb overload by indulging in their flat bread of the day – $12. The flatbread was topped with cheese, tomatoes, arugula and grilled sirloin and served on a long wooden cutting board. It was extremely satisfying, and the flatbread served as a trusty vessel holding the toppings as I piled piece after piece into my mouth. I’m not a steak house guy, but I really liked dining there and think you will too.
The marketer in me wonders what the discussion must have been like when the owners were trying to decide what they would like to name their company.

Sarah Silverman recently released a video mocking the voter fraud debate in the United States. This is an argument I believe is a smokescreen for conservatives looking for legal recourse to discourage elderly, students and minorities from voting in the November election.
Note: Sarah is her usual colorful self – this is NSFW
Although this organization is based in D.C. and your local community may not be doing anything, I thought it was worth posting for those in Washington, D.C. Hopefully, this reminds all of us that there is a very human component to this story, that has yet to write a happy ending.
