CRACKING GOOD THINGS OF THE WEEK:

• 5th graders sing Phoenix’s “Lisztomania
  I sang Davy Crockett in 5th grade. Today’s youngsters and learning sweet Phoenix tunes in school. This sweet rendition made me a little teary.
• Foodzie.com
  A purveyor of food from local producers across the country, they carry items like bacon jam and single malt scotch bars.
• Evil Devil Fish Bad for Japan
  Nothing like a hideous 10 foot fish to make you feel like you’re going to die.
  
• The Auteurs
  My film-loving friends might like this one. Watch arty films with a forum for discussion. I don’t see Bring it On on the list.
• The Onion: Nation Shudders at Large Block of Uninterrupted Text
  I’m giving this to my students to read.
  
• Phoenix fast food fish sandwiches
  How that for alliteration? I love a fish sandwich — and as I predicted, McDs comes out on top.
• I tried a neti pot for the first time
