The Rock
I recently visited my 19-year-old son, Charlie, in Utah where he was part of an Outward Bound–style adventure. The day I visited was rock-climbing day, replete with harnesses, carabiners, ropes, helmets, belay devices, and special climbing shoes. The group took more than an hour to set up the ropes as I sat around watching ripe-smelling twentysomethings crab their way up the cliff, legs akimbo. Then the inevitable happened—it was my turn

"Group motivational therapy."
"Safety meetings" are probably the same all over the world.

The Cooks Illustrated cookbook changed the way I think about food. Apparently they have a vegetarian cookbook out now too.

is this an interactive thread?
or just a spectator sport?
because i got something.
funny.
my poor wife.
she is so worried about
everything uncertain.
so we have a gal here;
she sells insurance.
i think this one
is,
"long-term care" insurance.
for f*#ks sake!
so earlier today my
eight year old was making breakfast
and found a moldy though
still functional can
of whip cream in the fridge.
i told her to throw it
away.
a minute ago,
i was in the trash
for something and i
saw the expired can.
then i did what any
senseless dirtbag would do
and i drained the gas
into my gob.
tsssssss.ssss.tssssss.
i stand up, with bells tolling in
my mind and i look around
and the gal and my wife
are both fixated on my antic.
in my fleeting state of
mind, she very much
cast me a flirtatious
smile and i reciprocated
my best empty stare.
