Ah yes, Pink Floyd’s great line: “Ten years have got behind. No one told you when to run. You missed the starting gun.”
Those words clearly characterized some of my decades–in particular the Sixties that lasted well into the Eighties. This past decade of the 2000s, though, this group of years that ends tonight, has been [...]
Many I met during holiday events asked about classes–both adult and kidlets. At the very least we’re planning to get something rolling with the kids. The series, Cooking with the Little Aunties, is open to girls 8 to 12.
Isn’t that just the way. The first does yeoman service path breaking, and then the second comes along with her flirty name and catchy clothes and skates all the way to the bank.

So at the end of the day, it’s not really so much about whether [...]
CAFOs (confined animal feeding operations) and Big Food break my heart. That’s why cheap breakfasts don’t impress me. The hens and pigs pay so very pitifully for our pleasure. Factory farmers prostituting themselves under the guise of feeding the world–never mind the big bucks.
