Something yummy

An author friend who'd just finished reading "Househusband" and "Man of the House" asked me if I really cooked as well as Linc Menner, the protagonist. I replied by saying "You be the judge," and I sent her my quick-and-easy recipe for pasta carbonara. Enjoy.

Chop an entire package of bacon into little pieces and fry until fairly crisp.
Take bacon from pan and leave a few tablespoons of the oil.
Fry a diced onion in this oil. After about 10 minutes, add as much whipping cream as you need, but no...

Nowhere to go but ... down!

I was walking home from the gym in downtown Nashville yesterday when I looked up at a highrise, maybe 20 stories up, and saw a window washer suspended by a single rope, rappelling along the side of the building like Spiderman.

One guy standing next to me said, "Man, now that's what I call 'occupational hazard.' "

Butt Disease and Medical Lies

Lunges, which help tone the thighs and, more importantly, the buttocks, are critical for my day-to-day happiness. Let me explain.

I have no ass. Okay, so I do have an ass, but my butt cheeks could be confused with those ...

Magic Coffee

Me to a friend: "Yeah, I really shouldn't go too far from the house after I've had my morning coffee."

Friend to me: "Yeah, I know what you mean. I call it "whole grain coffee."

A word about Tiger

People: Lay off of Tiger Woods. He's an ATHLETE, for chrissakes. Not a priest. Not the president of the United States.

Why this obsession with the importance of him showing remorse? Why do you think he must prove his sincerity to us? He DOESN'T!

This is none of your business or mine.

Why can't we hold our politicians to such scrutiny, hmmm? Spend the time you're using to fret about a professional golfer and use it to read and understand more about our healthcare reform or our country's policies ...

A New Word! Now ... if only I knew what it meant!

Now and then even an author comes across a word that sends him running to the dictionary (and, yes, I still prefer my 4-inch-thick Websters to dictionary.com ... though I do use the latter as well).

This was in a story published in The Economist, which is my family's newsweekly magazine of choice. It's published in Britain though has a large section of American news, and it's the best written, most thoughtful journalism out there today.

At any rate, in a story about the Olympics, a writer calle...

Viagra ... from the farm

So I went into GNC and told them that the vitamin mix I had been using was making me very jumpy. I'd wanted the "sport pack" to supplement my hard workouts at the gym, but there were two pills in that pack that had caffeine and made me feel as if I wanted to crawl out of my skin.

"What else can I use?" I asked the clerk.
"How about this virility pack?" he asked.
"Do I need a virility pack?"
"I don't know -- do you?" he asked.
"Well, it sure couldn't hurt anything, could it?"
"A lot of guys like thi...

Spring Break 2010: Not just for kids

[image error] I have NO IDEA who these people are, or where this photo was taken. Someone here looks a lot like me. And there's someone who looks a lot like my wife, Carol, and my good friends, MaryJayne and Steve. But this is NOT us. It couldn't be; we were at a symposium on global warming all week long.

A Fort Myers Moment

I'm in the waiting room in the service department at Fort Myers Honda, putting some tires on my daughter's car. I came here at 7:00 a.m. so was thrilled to find a coffee machine in the lobby. Not just any coffee machine, mind you, but one of those fancy gourmet contraptions where you choose your flavor of high-end coffee (in a pouch) and insert it into a machine for a personalized and delicious cuppa Joe.

But this is Fort Myers, land of Buicks and early-bird specials. And most of the customers...
