It’s really cold outside.  No yard work for me this weekend.

We went to the Ritz Showcase movie theater last night.  Guess what.   It has been sold again.  It is no longer owned by National Amusements. It is now called “Rave Motion Pictures Ritz Center”.  Everytime this movie house changes owners it begins to look more and more like your standard multiplex.  I use to think we were special here in Voorhees when this theater first opened.  The Ritz was really special.  But not anymore.  There are 2 big things I noticed last night besides the new names and uniforms.  The first is the big bucket popcorn they now offer.  I consider this a plus.   The second is the commercials they now play before the previews.  If I want to see TV style commercials I can stay home.

By the way, we saw the new Ben Stiller film “Greenberg”.  I’m a big BS fan and I knew going in that this was not a comedy.  What I didn’t know was how lame this film was.  Don’t waste your time.

I went to a seminar today sponsored by the Rutgers Family Business Association and to my surprise one of our neighbors, Judy Raines was the speaker.  Judy is the president of  Webmarcom, a  company specializing in all aspects of web marketing.  She is a dynamite speaker and a lot of fun.  I learned a lot in the 2 hours we were together.  If you want to learn more about how to use social media in your business check out Judy at www.webmarcom.net

I’m loving this weather. I finally had a chance to try a restaurant I’ve been wanting to go to for years. Graziano’s on the White Horse Pike in Chiselhurst. You have probably drove by it many times and would never think of stopping in but let me tell you, the next time you have a craving for some great Italian food you have got to try this place. This is an old fashioned family owned place with a traditional as well as some unique dishes that you will not find anywhere else. Bottle of reds, a bottle of whites, this could have been the Italian Restaurant Billy Joel was singing about.
