Book Report To be quite honest, I have had enough of books bloviating about the wealthy and the very pretty. Women with thin yoga bodies. Independently wealthy men. Fairy tales of idealist privileged people with unlimited resources and above average education. Too many books out there including improbable scenarios such as CEO’s and their spousesContinue reading “Book Report.”

A great place to buy potato chips.
It was a wonderful place to visit. The banyan tree in Lahaina Maui was one good reason to visit the old whaler village. Its expansive canopy almost covered the entire park. Yes, it was severely burned but efforts are now underway to revive it. Not being an expert arborist I’m not sure how this isContinue reading “A great place to buy potato chips.”
Why is it so cold inside?
Summer’s Frost Stepping out of our cool Honda and into the summer’s heat is almost a shock to the body. Since exiting our air-conditioned car and out into 90-plus degrees summer air. I begin to sweat almost instantaneously . Like a chilled glass of ice tea covered with condensation. Beads of sweat quickly formed andContinue reading “Why is it so cold inside?”
I like my cornbread in a tall glass of buttermilk.
Meals on 4-wheels. In our little town there are an over abundance of burrito food trucks. Plus, too many chicken and pizza trucks. None the less, where are the food trucks with the real food? Because of the high population of college students here in our little town food trucks are cooking too much fastContinue reading “I like my cornbread in a tall glass of buttermilk.”
The Royal Gorge
Opulence by the slice. It was on the eastside of Los Angeles 1959. Approaching the establishment from behind on the side street, you will quickly notice a Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud parked under its own car port just behind the business rear entrance. Then Entering the main front entrance of the unique establishment, one would beContinue reading “The Royal Gorge”
Dogs don’t eat popcorn.
Never mind he was trained to do something else. His thing was popcorn. I would pull out of the cabinet a microwave popcorn package and he quickly would be so close to me he would be standing on my foot. Rickles, my beloved Yellow Lab guide dog, would be at my side in a sitContinue reading “Dogs don’t eat popcorn.”
A song request amigo.
Three Amigos. 1979. Many of our trips to Southern California we would often meet up with my cousin and his wife along with my wife and 9-year-old daughter. Meeting them for a spicy Mexican dinner. Sometimes my brother and his wife and maybe my cousins brother came along as well. We would often gather atContinue reading “A song request amigo.”
Sing Songy waitperson.
Is she a waitperson or a childcare provider. Where do they all come from? There must be a school where one learns the language of sing-songy patronizing table waiting. There must be at least one per each restaurant. Pardon me if it seem a bit sexist but, what I’m trying to describe happens mostly withContinue reading “Sing Songy waitperson.”
I’d rather eat Play-Doh.
What about avocado toast? My lovely wife loves avocado toast. I don’t! I do not like its mooshy texture and wall paper paste taste. So here is my recommendation for an alternative. We’ll just call it banana toast. Banana toast only if no one else has already invented banana toast. This is how I wouldContinue reading “I’d rather eat Play-Doh.”
Ain’t goin’ back to here no mo.
They use to call it quality control. Not sure what they call it these days. Sort of hit and miss maybe. If you are going to own or operate a franchise your customer could only hope to have a food item at one location then days or weeks later miles away you get the sameContinue reading “Ain’t goin’ back to here no mo.”
