Chicken Butts are Forever
We're sitting on the tarmac in St Louis. It was supposed to be Chicago, but one of those summer storms that sweeps across the Midwest sent us into a holding pattern and then we ran out of fuel and, well, American doesn't fly ultralights, so we stopped at the nearest filling station. I scored an [...:]

Your Idiot Boss
Being the font of wisdom that I am, younger folks will sometimes ask me important questions, such as, "Do you want paper or plastic?" "Is that for here or to go?" and "Did you dress that way intentionally?" Young people are learning new things every day, of course, and their education doesn't end with graduation. [...:]

$600 for Binoculars? YAKM!!!
My Sunday magazine supplement had a great article over the weekend about the best gift ideas for "dads and grads." Notice how dads rank so high that we don't even get our own gift list.

FATHER KNOWS BEST About Father's Day
Father's Day is coming and I cannot wait for my morning paper. Mother's Day dawned with the annual article about how Stay At Home Moms are worth $117k per year, based on their work as cooks, cleaners, drivers, etc. I read stories about famous people who love their moms, moms who save puppies, moms building [...:]

Pies Are Square
We were digging into our 13th or 14th slice of pumpkin pie before we found one that actually tasted like pumpkin. Jill was on slice number 18 or 19 before she found an apple pie that tasted like apple. Such are the tragedies of life for judges in the American Pie Championships. It's a tough [...:]
