Wawa Eggnog.

It only comes out for a few months out of the year, but when it does, I go kind of crazy. Seriously, it’s one of the best drinks I’ve ever had and every year it’s as good as the year before. No joke. Others agree. It’s so thick and creamy and not too “noggy”. It comes in two varieties: Original and Pumpkin Spice. The latter is good to at least try once in your life, but really, Original is where it’s at. Also, here’s a little secret: WaWa Egg Nog is really just Turkey Hill Egg Nog licensed for a WaWa bottle. So if there’s no WaWa around you and all you’ve got is Turkey Hill, that’s all you really need.

Every year my brother and I have a bonding moment over our mutual love for this fine delicacy. We almost grow physically ill while we’re home with our parents from ingesting so much dairy and egg whites. And it’s worth every bit of it. So drop by your Wawa today and pick up some of it to try. Or, if you are in Philadelphia and have never had it before, I’d be glad to buy you your first one.

I admit: I thought the season finale of “Lost” was a bit anti-climactic. Of course, I must also admit that I was watching it online as it played in the background while I was focusing on other work on my computer. This caused me not to engage with the episode with all the faculties that it deserved. My dear “long lost” friend Mark Traphagen passed this article along to me that changed the way I look at the entire show. It really is quite incredible and is worth the read for anyone who at least saw the finale. Though beware: If you haven’t seen the finale yet, don’t read this. It is full of plenty of spoilers. Thanks Mark.
