Without hyperbole, bad coffee is just plain wrong. We’ve returned from close to a month of access to our personal espresso world. Conclusion: in a proper universe, only good java would be allowed.

There. I’ve decided not to race headlong towards relaxation. Instead, I’m going to take the time to breathe, and clean out the refrigerator, and try to find all the camping stuff before we leave. It’s like an epiphany.

This evening, I’ve had several trivial food items come across my plate, so to speak. Since nothing of note happened in the world today (if you can’t trust Fox, who can you trust?), I’m going to offer them up. Tasty morsels, so to speak, although, like cheap Chinese, you may be hungry in half an hour. Not my fault; I was forced to remove all of the trans fats.

Man can’t fly worth beans. I’m not talking about getting into one of those new-fangled flying machines here. Rather, about how we can get all two feet 6o.96 cm (two feet) off the ground, but then our good friend gravity kicks back in. Free fall, maybe; free landing, rarely.

I’m confused by what I read. Well, not everything, but on the question of what vitamins are needed to keep me healthy and wise there are a few doubts that have crept in. You see, a new study says I need the “sunshine vitamin” to prevent cancer.

One pill makes you larger And one pill makes you small And the ones that mother gives you Don’t do anything at all … Thank you, Gracie. This weekend I’m starting some welcome vacation time with a head cold, and so like all my self-medicating comrades in arms, I’m on the search for the right head pill. Things are more complicated than they used to be.

Is nutrition a pseudo-science? As more and more evidence is presented, the theories are revisited, appraised and modified. After all, isn’t part of the scientific process to make the theory fit the facts? In the case of food, don’t be too sure.

One of the first rules in business is to know your clients, and by extension, their tastes. No sense selling what won’t be bought. I have to wonder; is the potato chip a reference point for those trying to identify demographic change? No reason to wait for Stats Can to deliver up another of their costly door-to-door campaigns, just check out the rack at the local corner store.

Should you happen to share your home with any animal, you will have noted that a great deal of energy is spent in the structure of sleeping. Seriously, try to find a pet that doesn’t “own” the most comfortable bed in the house, and that doesn’t make the best possible use of time and place. There may be a reason; animals aren’t “born lazy”.
Go ahead, tell me that it’s really tasty. I don’t believe you. I come from a land where anything from the sea goes through three distinct processes; catch, clean and cook. Now I live in a city that thinks it’s “turning Japanese” like some bad pop tune from 1980. What’s my beef? Sushi
