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. The atmosphere stinks (literally), and the clientele (the people who are my fellow customers)...

Ahh. Chicken soup. Many of us take large amounts of this food product when we are sick. In some circles, it is even known by the politically incorrect name of "Jewish penicillin." But how does one...

Let us examine the anatomy of a Makers Mark bottle. First, there is the top - there is obviously a way to seal the bottle and keep the beverage fresh. Then there is the neck of the bottle, followed by the body, then the labels. The liquor inside has its...

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. But the Canadian geese - my daughter still calls them...

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...

The post sure got a lot of hits - it put this blog in the Top 10 for a while - but was actually met by a deafening silence. I'm beginning to think human-potential experts are right about this....

It starred Kate Jackson and Michael Ontkean, as a television executive and physician who are married to each other at the beginning of the movie. Along comes Harry Hamlin, an out-and-proud gay man who doesn't like...

This movie follows the lives of nine men - some of whom are sexually involved with other men in the group - and a female friend of theirs over a period of eight years. During this time...
