Monday, March 24, 2003Title #5: And the fans roared(I found And the Fans Roared on a bargain book table - it's one of those coffee-table books that used to run close to $50, really overpriced.) The other day, I went to a ballgame. I sat down in my usual box seat virtually right next to third base, with my beer and hot dog (you can't beat the taste...

Alton Brown, the host of Good Eats, wrote a cookbook and "I'm only here for the food" is the title.) I am at my favorite diner. Normally, I'd hate the place.

I go to a pond every day, to feed a flock of Canadian geese. Actually, it's not quite accurate to say that it's a pond, unless you want to call it a retention pond.

Just some ideas I want to write about, perhaps later today: 1. Take five newspaper headlines. You can go to a public library and get headlines from yesterday's news, for all I care. Just...

Now, when I say that I wanted to mother him, what I mean is that I wanted to read him the riot act in the most charitable way possible. Had my own...
