I stopped at Mazzone's Bakery this a.m. You gotta love fresh bread from the bakery. I picked up a loaf of Jewish Rye. I have no idea what makes it Jewish, but it's pretty damn good stuff.

I know very few us of watch the NBA Playoffs, but do yourself a favor and watch TNT's studio show with Charles Barkley. It's a good time, and it keeps you up-to-date, without having to watch games, if that's what you choose. And if you watch ABC, make sure you listen to Hubie Brown, you might learn something about the game.
