    Five links to start your day off right: Part of a complete, balanced breakfast.

  • We're confused. (Will the real Sexiest Man Alive please stand up?)

  • That's the word of the year? (Can we unfriend New Oxford American Dictionary?)

  • We're glad ABC chose Diane Sawyer over George Stephanopoulos. (Anchor approval.)

    We figured that most people didn't watch "Saturday Night Live" last weekend since the Black Eyed Peas performed. (Ugh.) Unfortunately, that means you missed celebrity guest January Jones, aka Betty Draper from "Mad Men." In the segment below, she re-assumes her '60s housewife role for a spot-on parody about how gender and racial stereotyping were part of throwing "the perfect party." (We love the to-do list and punch recipe.)

    Five weekend highlights.
    (Thank goodness for selective memory.)

    Bar-hopped in Harrisburg Thursday. (But Tim Warfield was nowhere to be found.)

    Attended an Arlington apartment party. (Somebody spiked the cider. Yum.)

    Visited the new Court of Valor memorial. (I also got a Civil War history lesson at Prospect Hill Cemetery.)

    Saw the Eagles loose yet again. (I still miss those Phils.)

    Consoled myself with the movie "Clue." (Nothing like a little murder/mystery to brighten the mood.)

    rave.jpeg Are you ready for some football and local tunes? Take some time away from local team rivalries to watch York group Mark DeRose Band perform during halftime of the Baltimore Ravens-Pittsburgh Steelers game Nov. 29. Kick-off is around 8:20 p.m. on NBC.

    The band will play a medley of songs by Chicago with the Baltimore Marching Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore. The Baltimore Marching Ravens, formerly The Baltimore Colts Marching Band, were recently featured in the ESPN Film "The Band That Wouldn't Die." Mark DeRose Band drummer, Dan Brenner, recorded the vocal group singing the Colts Fight Song for the movie. (Photo: YDR file; Steelers fans heckle a Ravens fan during last year's AFC championship game.)
