I also picked up two 3×4 transparent pictures.  I’m not sure if they are actual pictures or more like a positive negative.  The only way I could think of sharing was to place them on the laptop screen with a white background then photograph.  It was a quick hack job so the colors, focus and cropping are all off.

I attended the best graduation ceremony three weeks ago hands down. My sister graduated from WVU’s Perley Isaac Reed School of Journalism. NBC journalist Hoda Kotb gave a lighthearted keynote which captivated the audience. Her speech was more down to earth and entertaining then most commencement speeches I’ve seen.

If a good keynote wasn’t enough, the school had a reception afterward featuring cookies, brownies, punch and pepperoni rolls. Pepperoni rolls!?! Yep, they had trays and trays full of these WV culinary delights which can be found at virtually every gas station, bakery and grocery store across the state. Very classy indeed!

While we are on the topic, pepperoni rolls aren’t the only regional food you should know about.  West Virginians also like their hot dogs too.  Stop laughing, hot dogs are serious business in the Mountain State.  Check out the West Virgina Hot Dogs website and their blog for the most comprehensive scoop you’ll find on WV hot dogs.

So the next time your passing through West Virginia, be sure to sample a pepperoni roll, hot dog or better yet both!

I can’t wrap my mind around how limousines and funeral coaches start their lives as normal cars that are chopped in half, extended and welded back together.
