Candy for the soul

If you spend enough time reading or writing, you find a voice, but you also find certain tastes. You find certain writers who when they write, it makes your own brain voice like a tuning fork, and you just resonate with them. And when that happens, reading those writers … becomes a source of unbelievable joy. It’s like eating candy for the soul.

— David Foster Wallace

Love and writing

I’ve heard the advice that if you are contemplating writing a book, you’d better REALLY be in love with it, because you are going to be living with it in your life for a long, LONG time…

Mmmm! Cheese!

OK, this is where I must remind you that I don’t eat like this every day. Honest!

Now that I have that out of the way — this is an odd item on the Denny’s menu. Take deep fried mozzarella sticks, add cheddar cheese, and THEN make a grilled cheese sandwich out of it. Are your arteries whimpering for mercy yet? They serve it with some tomato sauce on the side, which undoubtedly make it healthier on the whole.

Oh, and for a modest charge you can add a side of French fries, in case you still needed more salt, fat, and carbs.

Come back, Shaun Cassidy

If Shaun Cassidy was performing on the oldies circuit, he could do a Da Doo Ron Ron/Baby Shark Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo montage.

Come back, Shaun. 2019 needs this.
