So yeah, it's a big time for us. Not only did UConn win (I was a Nutmegger for 9 years), but it was our 7th wedding anniversary yesterday!

But yes, I'm also referring to the above story, which ran last night on ABC's "World News Tonight." It came together quickly; I saw the producer's e-mail about 2:10, and I had arrived back home for perhaps 10 minutes when the videographer arrived, 20 minutes early, at 3:25.

I can't decide which question about "Addicted to Food," the OWN show that premieres tomorrow night at 10 Eastern, is more interesting or important to me: Is it realistic? Or, Is it good television?

But the answer is yes, based on the review copy of Episode 1 I received from the network.

In the mediocre film "Lunch Line," which I saw a week ago Sunday as part of the Museum of Science's "Let's Talk About Food" series, famed "lunch lady" Ann Cooper makes the observation that "many registered dietitians don't have a strong background in cooking and food."

Time out from sustainable food for a montage by good friend and Santa Fe singer Susan Abod...

I suppose it's a mark of achievement for Marie Claire's online component that I feel moved to comment again on something it published, considering it's not a site I visit.

Back a while, there was the firestorm that ensued after an MC writer confided her revulsion when she saw fat people. It brought thousands of horrified retorts within days, and I was asked to comment by a Boston-area health website.

It's past truism to say that comedy shows have become key providers of information and current events for many people, even as Jon Stewart disclaims such an effect, or says that it shouldn't be that way.

I have written previously about the National Association for Males with Eating Disorders, and operator Chris Clark was in touch recently about a new feature of the group's public interaction.

At the beginning, there was little more than a matinee. In September 2009, the Museum of Science scheduled a Wednesday afternoon showing of “Food Inc.,” wondering if it would draw an audience.

“Surprisingly to everyone around here, the auditorium was full, with a huge waiting list,” said David Sittenfeld, manager of the museum’s forum program. “What we realized was that we needed not just a few programs about food but a full and discrete program.”

I've written about Good magazine's graphics before, mostly when a series was distributed by Starbucks before the '08 presidential election. This one is done in conjunction with 350.org — and to my way of thinking, nothing bad could come from a collaboration between those two entities.

There's no reason I can think of that anyone coming here would care what happened at the Mass. state hockey championships on Sunday. Conceded, completely.

And yet, I'm posting. My first interest was my alma mater, Marblehead High School, which won Division 3. Because Coach Bobby Jackson, whom I know since grade school, told me a bit about his team at our 35th high school reunion last summer, I followed along in the paper during the season and went to four playoff games, including the coup de grace, 6-3 over Westfield. Congrats to Bob and his players.
