If you are like me, your campaign for lieutenant governor has seriously kept you from getting to the gym. With MapMyWalk.com, you can trace a walking or running route around your neighborhood or town on Google Maps to find out the exact distance and see where the mile or kilometer marks are.

The TV offerings are quite a smorgasbord, from current hits (24, Scrubs, Law & Order, Battlestar Galactica) to classics (Miami Vice, The A-Team, Doogie Howser and, well, Battlestar Galactica). Particularly intriguing are the spin-offs (Archie Bunker’s Place, What’s Happening Now!, Team Knight Rider and — wait for it — Galactica 1980).

Do your kids love fish sticks? Have you recently read the ingredients on the side of a box of fish sticks? If the answer to both questions is yes, you will want to try this great, easy fish stick recipe. The only variation I made, which I strongly recommend: don’t mess around with trying to sautee them, just deep fry those suckers.

Nobody closes a show like Bonnie Raitt, especially when she has Bruce Hornsby and Jackson Browne in the role of the Pips. Here she is doing Angel From Montgomery.
