Now We’re Cooking
We’re cooking, alright–in multiple senses. The thermometer locally has toyed with the notion of one hundred degrees Fahrenheit, the last couple of days. Cooking, indeed. But of more relevance is the topic of cooking food, and cooking it outside. That’s … Continue reading
Whipsaw Weather
“In like a lion…” A deranged, manic-depressive lion, perhaps. We’ve had days of phenomenal weather, followed by rain, sleet, and snow. Closer to the latter, as I write this. The various “spring” plants are coming up, though, and things are … Continue reading

Dining, and…
This week I’m going to keep things brief. The topic is food–which I’ve spoken about many times before: here, and here, and here, and a dozen or so other posts. You know my basic opinions: Figure out what you eat, … Continue reading
Wonderful Water
After promising last time to talk about water this time, our part of the world was blessed with almost a week of rain. While there’s such a thing as too much, we’re pretty far from that point. Still, it makes … Continue reading

Government Showdown
As I write this, on Wednesday afternoon, things on Capitol Hill have gotten a bit testy. (Well, okay, testier than usual.) The White House is refusing to comply with Congressional subpoenas, which is pretty much unheard of. The House is … Continue reading →
