The breakfast burrito at Whole Foods Market -- It's still a bit of a "secret" that Whole Foods Market does hot breakfast items, but it shouldn't be. So, I'm here to tell you to try its wonderful breakfast burrito. A nutritious breakfast is important, and this bad boy does not disappoint. Loaded with big potato chunks, other veggies and cheese it's sizable and affordable at only $3.99. --J.S.

"Two and a Half Men" -- As long as I'm recommending a high-brow TV show like "Spectacle," I figure that it's OK to balance it out with a little locker-room humor. This show, which airs on CBS and in syndication, makes me laugh. Charlie Sheen plays a hedonistic advertising jingle writer who lives an affluent lifestyle in Malibu and takes in his younger brother Alan (John Cryer) and his 10-year-old son Jake (Angus T. Jones). The show steals a lot from other sitcoms and is somewhat predictable (the brothers are opposites, their mother is hedonistic, their housekeeper is wacky), but the writing is razor-sharp. Sheen is particularly brilliant in his role. The show is good for a laugh, but you may want to turn the channel when kids are watching because it can get a little bawdy. --D.O.

Amazon Mobile for iPhone -- My favorite online store, Amazon.com, released its official iPhone application on Wednesday and, like everything else the company does, this app seems to work really well. It's a nice, concise application, and for me, it's the first dedication tool for buying stuff online via my iPhone (mobile Safari is nice, but it's too unwieldy to use for eCommerce). The craziest tool on the new Amazon Mobile is its "Remembers" tab. Basically, you can snap a photo of a product, and Amazon tries to match it with something it sells. I tried it this afternoon with a water bottle I actually bought on Amazon.com, and it says it can take up to a few days to deliver results -- so we'll see. However, even without that add-on, I can easily see Amazon Mobile becoming one of my most-used iPhone apps. --Andy Tarnoff

Kiss My Face cranberry orange lip balm -- Finding the right lip balm can be tricky. It's common to try out a few before finding the perfect mouth goo. This season, I got lucky, and on a whim, grabbed Kiss My Face's cranberry orange lip balm and it's exactly what I want in a chap stick. It's made with organic ingredients, but most important, it straddles the line between too dry and too greasy. It slides on with ease and stays on for a while. Plus, it tastes pretty good, especially during the holiday season when All Things Cranberry are at the height of their popularity. This lip balm costs $3.50 and you can get it at Beans & Barley. --M.E.

Elvis's Spectacle is wonderful! What a relief from the normal brain dead fair on talk shows where the host asks superficial questions that have nothing to do with the art or craft of the guest, but instead talk about how beautiful the guest is. (Though I am a Letterman over Leno guy, Letterman is famous for spending the whole interview talking about how someone looks.) This is a real find for musicians and those who truly want to know how it is made. I'm looking forward to the series!

Zevon was NOT a student of Stavinski, his piano teacher was a student, and Zevon did meet him a time or two.

And as for working out in the morning, it's better because the gym is not as crowded and you only have to shower once!
