Did you hit the beach this weekend? We took my inlaws to OC, and it was a perfect day to be outside. And the waves ... my goodness! They were huge! Whether your weekend was spent outdoors or in, I hope it was good - and I hope you are ready for a great week here on the Joy Ride!

#35. Fisher’s Caramel Popcorn

I've been told the best way to eat caramel popcorn is fresh from Fisher's on the boardwalk. It would have to be better than the caramel popcorn I'm used to. It comes in a giant tin with a cardboard divider between the caramel corn, cheesy corn, and some other random powder flavor covered popcorn. Seriously, folks - stop the epidemic of giving those giant tins of stale popcorn as Christmas party gifts. It must stop.

Have something to add to the list? I'd love for you to email me your ideas: jmillwood@wolc.org

ARTIST OF THE DAY:
The Afters


The Afters are one of those bands that despite sticking to their Christian lyrics and lifestyle have seen some solid success in the secular market. MTV has featured their music on several shows, plus they've been featured on Dr. Phil, Rachel Ray, and Grey's Anatomy. It's one of those things where when you do what you do excellently for the Lord, you never know how He'll use it!

Before becoming The Afters, the line-up went by the moniquer "Screaming Mimes" and then "Blisse." The Screaming Mimes was in reference to the famous quote of St. Francis Assisi"Witness at all times. Sometimes use words."

Awesome Fact: The band's original 4 all met and worked together at Starbucks.

"Light Up The Sky" drops on September 14th. Look for it!
