Why Americans Keep Getting, Shall We Say, Larger

This just in from Jill, official oldest daughter of NewMexiKen:

I just received an e-mail from the Richmond chapter of the William and Mary alumni association, inviting me to their annual holiday party this weekend.

As I skimmed it, I thought, “Why is the Richmond chapter sending things to me? That’s two hours away.”

Then I saw this, noted below the list of appetizers:

Mashed Potato Bar
(Mashed potatos served into martini glasses for a walk-around treat
…choose from a variety of toppings. Delish!)

Oh, well then that makes sense. My reputation obviously has spread throughout the Old Dominion.

So I’ll be heading to Richmond on Saturday…
