Cherry Cake

I had never heard of a 'cherry cake' until late Friday night when I heard it mentioned by the dead cowboy's mother in "Brokeback Mountain". Then it seemed to be rather coincidental to hear 'cherry cake' mentioned again by another mother of a dead daughter and granddaughter as I watched the pilot episode of "Caprica" early Saturday morning.

I guess I should try to find a cherry cake at a bakery, or ask a bakery worker if they make cherry cakes.

Thank You for an exciting season 2009 San Diego Chargers!

I'm sure that all the Monday morning QBs will be searching for scapegoats to place the blame for the stunning play off loss to the New York Jets, however I think the team will admit that they were outplayed by a better prepared opponent. Obviously, Rivers had trouble handling the blitzes as he was unable to move the ball as he had done during the 10 victories prior. I think that the Chargers offense should have tried the "wild cat" formation a few times in order to keep the Jets defense guessing. I also think that the Chargers should have gotten the ball to LT at least 10 mores times, he was overdue to bust a big gainer! The Chargers relied too much on their passing attack and when that failed they didn't have an effective Plan B to implement. I think that the dumbfounded look on place kicker Kaeding's face after he missed his second field goal attempt explained what the whole team must have felt! Congratulations to the Jets, they were well prepared to take on the Chargers' high-powered offense, they took advantage of turnovers and penalties that the Chargers committed and won the game!
