It's getting worse and worse. In 2007 the name Judith made the worst showing ever, ranking at 653. The name Judy was even lower, ranking at 995. The names Dayanara, Zaria, Noemi, Yadira, Hazel and Litzy all ranked higher than Judith. Hazel? Litzy? What's that all about? Pretty soon my name won't even appear on the list. That is, unless a winner of a reality TV show or a character in an animated film ends up being named Judith! No matter. I'm not bitter....

In any case, the most popular baby names for 2007 have been tallied by the people over at Social Security. It so happens that my great niece has Arizona's most popular name for girls. Here are the most popular names being given to newborns in Arizona.

I rarely lose things. When I do, it is usually for a short while and then the item is found. I have never accidentally left my keys or credit cards anywhere. The most valuable thing I can recall losing is a pair of gold earrings. Since they are nowhere to be found, I assume that I must have left them in a hotel room. It's been about 4 years since I noticed them missing. Last year when we moved all the furniture to paint the house I still found myself looking for them!

Others aren't as lucky as I am. At Sky Harbor International Airport, where there are planes to catch and many distractions, it is not uncommon for belongings to become separated from their owners. If you lose something at the Phoenix airport, finding it again really depends where you lost it -- and hopefully you have an idea about that.

I guess it is pretty difficult for a buffet to have a great restaurant inspection. Scanning the list of the best restaurants this month I really didn't notice any buffets. Not true with the naughty list, where it is common to find a least one or two buffet restaurants that find compliance with all the health regulations a challenge. In April there were three buffets in Maricopa County that had seven or more major violations. Although it isn't a buffet, there's one Mexican place on 32nd Street in Phoenix that has been on my "avoid these list" since October! I would think they'd be ready to be closed down by now. I can tell you, I'm not eating there any time soon.
