As contractually obligated as a blogger, I have found my thoughts turning to the decade just ended and with it the state of things ten years ago today. I doubt it’s unusual that I can recall exactly what I was doing as Y2K failed to deliver any sort of dramatic mayhem, but I count myself [...]

[Poem] For any who never had the joy of working in the food service industry, a “sheet tray” or “sheet pan” is a heavy-gauge aluminium rectangle with a high lip and far more uses than simply turning out large, flat cakes, the function for which it was designed. A “full sheet”, at 18 x 26 inches [...] Today the car is in the shop and I am not going home for lunch, a change in routine which I do not welcome. Each day I go home to find that Magda has prepared a delicious quick meal for me, and today there is none of that and this makes me cranky and somewhat [...] Yeah, as usual: quite short on the sides and front, with something kind of like this, you know?

Some ‘web surfers’ even use it to find their way here, [...] Typical scene in Veracruz, Mexico Apropos of nothing: In the winter of 1995 I met up with my sister, her husband, and a handful of their loser friends from Montana, and we flew to Mexico to climb some volcanoes. The second peak on our itinerary of three was inconveniently active, so we changed our plans and made [...] We went camping a lot when I was a kid. My parents had five kids right in a row before they figured out what was causing them. This was bad for them but great for us; it’s amazing how efficiently little kids can construct the perfect society when there are so damn many of them, [...] I have been ‘tagged with a meme’. This word’s popularity originally came from a book I admire, but has since morphed into a prime example of the tortuous geeky terminology of the self-publishing rage that I loathe with every fiber of my being am not such a big fan of. Just in case you’re not [...] |
