You can’t go anywhere nowadays without seeing an Apple billboard, store or someone using their products. Apple has become a household name and not because one a day keeps the doctor away.

I’ll make it about a historical figure from 200 years ago that people are only vaguely familiar with. I’ll have all the dialogue sung. Maybe some rap. It’s a cinch to receive the most Tony nominations ever and [&#8230;]]]></description>

If you don&#8217;t have a Trader Joe&#8217;s in your town, it&#8217;s a good bet you desperately want one. Although you may not do your weekly grocery shopping there, you&#8217;d make a special trip to buy things you can [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[If Betty White&#8217;s life were a TV show, it would be titled &#8220;Everybody Loves Betty&#8221;. From radio, to TV sitcoms, to game shows, she&#8217;s excelled at everything she&#8217;s done. Guiness World Records affirms that she&#8217;s had the longest tenure in show biz of any woman, having begun her career in 1939. Holy smokes. That&#8217;s 77 years.

When I looked at his filmography, I realized something unusual. He&#8217;s been in lots of great films, but almost never as the lead actor. Some of his biggest films: Wedding Crashers, Catch [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Yes, Pinterest is the Lifetime Network of the Internet. I don&#8217;t know if there are studies to prove it, but it certainly seems to be much more popular with women. Lots of hairstyles. Lots of recipes. Lots of decorating ideas. But that&#8217;s fine &#8211; don&#8217;t we all like good food, don&#8217;t we all appreciate a nice [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Asheville is a little out there, sure. It surfs the waves of a rapidly changing culture, and marches to a different drummer, mixaphorically speaking. But that&#8217;s part of its charm. Another, more obvious part is its setting. On many mornings, you can easily see why the surrounding mountains are called the &#8220;Blue Ridge.&#8221; You can drive [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[John Grisham suffers the fate of many popular artists &#8211; the cultural snobs condescend because surely something so attractive to the masses can&#8217;t have artistic merit. But folks, Proust never wrote a page-turner. Tolstoy never knew a plot he couldn&#8217;t overcomplicate. Give me a writer who knows how to entertain. I like John Grisham.
