Waiting for the big finale.

Hi. It’s a quiet Wednesday night here at Howdygramland because I’m pleased to report that I’ve caught up on all my graphic design projects ... and there were LOTS of them this week. I’ve been busy designing brochures, postcards, business cards, logos and assorted other whatnots for a variety of new and existing clients. I’m also on the verge of signing up two new website projects, which is definitely cool, lucrative and fun. (Mostly lucrative.)

In case you’re interested, tonight is the big hoo-hah finale of “Top Chef” season seven. Although I really love this series, the general concept of a televised, high-end cooking competition has one huge drawback: you can’t play along and judge the food. It’s definitely not as plausible as “Project Runway,” for example, where at least you can decide if somebody’s outfit sucks without waiting for a judge to describe it to you. Regardless, tonight on “Top Chef” Angelo, Kevin and Ed are in Singapore scrambling (no pun intended) to win the grand prize. Just between us, I hope Ed wins. His food always looks extremely attractive.

And while I’m on the subject — food — here are three new products I tried today from Schwan’s. The biscuits and taters are pretty good but the fish is exactly what it looks like ... GRAMMAR SCHOOL CAFETERIA CUISINE. For the sake of nostalgia I’d probably enjoy it more with carrot sticks, applesauce and recess.

Hold a good thought for me ... I’m having oral surgery in the morning even though it’s National Play Doh Day and I’d certainly rather be celebrating THAT. Thank y’all.
