  • Swallow, don't spit! And sentimental reminiscing on an exploding CD Rom

    I bypassed the Dole salad bag as it was down in the double digits (way down) in popularity. A curious sort, I clicked the link at Amazon to get a look at the top 100 gourmet items being ordered this Christmas. Lo and behold the 99 spot is occupied by… a $7.45 box of cinnamon…

  • Ok, how about this?

    You see, I typed into a search in Gourmet Foods (at Amazon) the search term “European” just to see what might come up, rather than, y’know, buying everyone Xmas steaks (haha) or something like that.

Was reflecting on this only partly because of the death of Richard Pryor and reading a sundry comment here and there…

  • Yeah, I know most people don't, but I like Albert Finney's Scrooge

    Last week H.o.p. said, “Childhood is a lot like a long field trip.” He wasn’t saying that this week. We have had colds. H.o.p. had a bit of a fever with his the first couple of days and then was left with with nose misery and a cough. This is the best he’s done with…
