Gelato, sausages, soda... and, um, trains.

A few highlights from the last week on AOA:

+ Spring is here (sort of) and so is the gelato from Cone of Our Own. We highly recommend the hazelnut.

+ We scored some kosher-for-Passover Coke -- and BL helped us understand why there's also kosher-for-Passover Diet Coke.

+ We got the official story on the rumored "agreement" between Wegmans and Price Chopper. Bruce is still skeptical.

+ There are lots of ways to get from Albany to NYC -- we tried to figure out the best way.

+ You know that joke about not wanting to see laws and sausage made? We figured if we can't see how the state budget's coming together, we could maybe find out how sausage is made.

+ And did you see that video of the three-year-old telling the story of Eliot Spitzer?
