Perhaps you heard on the Morning Show that an apple a day is good for the waistline. Research presented Tuesday in New Orleans at a meeting of the  Obesity Society shows that people who ate an apple about 15 minutes before lunch consumed 190 calories less than when they didn’t have an apple. The same effect wasn’t present when people ate applesauce or drank apple juice. So here’s to an apple a day.

Our “Whiz Kid” Wednesday in the Commuter Quiz was Larry from Benecia who knew that it was “Pong” that premiered in a Sunnyvale tavern in 1974. Good luck tomorrow at 6:30 am as you play for a couple of tickets to 42nd Street Moon’s presentation of the 1943 musical “One Touch of Venus”.

Do you remember the famous quote “Speak softly and carry a big stick”? Teddy Roosevelt said that as Vice President at the Minnesota State Fair in our Blind Date Year…1901. With McKinley’s assassination later that year,Teddy was propelled into the White House.

Enjoy your apple and we’ll get together Thursday morning.
