Cranberry juice will help.

That's part of the deal, having finger food like chicken, ribs, and corn on the cob. If it's uncomfortable eating with your hands, may you never have to deal with a hamburger or a hot dog. Actually, Snowthy would probably remember the Seinfeld episode of George using a fork and knife to eat a...

Like I said earlier, I was born too early for Chuck E. Cheese. Too old to be a kid there, too young to be a parent. However, I more than made up for it with Medieval Times. Now THAT is a cool place. 8)

I always got satisfaction from knowing they could search every inch of my car and not find anything. But I never pushed my luck by saying something stupid like, "If you find anything, I'll split it with ya!" They have the badge, gun, and handcuffs. I don't.

Around here they have a lot of these huge sensors that clock your speed and display them to get you to slow down. I've had a number of run-ins with the cops over the years. Back in the 90's, I got pulled over a lot having long hair and a car covered in Grateful Dead stickers, thinking I must...

Go to court, talk to the prosecutor, he might cut you a deal. They might offer to drop the points if you pay a higher fine. Fines are one thing, but points stay on your license for three years, and your insurance goes through the roof. The more miles you went over the speed limit, the more...

Sticky blood? Not diabetes, is it? That's not conclusive but high sugar in the blood makes it thick.

Went into a department store that still has a candy counter. Years ago, it used to be a staple in Sears, Penney's, Macy's (back in the 70's, New Jersey locations were called Bamberger's) usually next to the record department (ask your parents or grandparents about that). Glass cases filled with...

Okay, let me make amends. Wakka wakka wakka! Thank you, you're beautiful! Tip your server good! We have an extended engagement until the second Tuesday of next week! Enjoy the borscht!

Laundering money again, eh? 8)

similar ingredients to shepherd's pie. Shepherd's pie is more of a casserole. Layers of ground beef or lamb, peas (carrots, onions optional) topped with a layer of mashed potatoes. Bake for an hour at 400 degrees. Put under the broiler for five minutes to give the potatoes a nice brown. Pasties...

Alas, I never set foot in Chuck E. Cheese Too young to be a parent, too old to be a kid. Word had it in Noo Joisey, the place was a front for the Mob. Run by people named Sal, Vito, and Nunzio.

Wherever you call home, whatever you fill them with, whatever they're called, I love them. The Irish call them "pasties". Beef or lamb (sometimes even fish), potatoes, cheese, local spices. Continents or languages may vary, but nothing is lost in the translation. 8)

It takes a lot for me to find anything negative to frown over, rant about, complain about, etc. etc. etc. I'll always try to find the good in anything, even if it takes some searching. But here I'm struck by the absurdity of it all: I love going to carnivals, fairs, boardwalks, any place where...

If I let my true Taurus self hold sway (actually, April 21 is on the cusp, so shades of Aries, but patience rules here) I'd be the most stubborn son of a gun on two feet. Patience is not what we always want, but sometimes is what we need. Plus being humble enough to let others help. Yes, it's a...

sounds great. How are you with empenadas?

Ah yes, the Wrecking Crew. Session musicians (anonymous to the public, but highly regarded in their circles) that played on so many 60's hits. Basically sidemen for Phil Spector, but also played on hits for the Beach Boys, the Mamas and Papas, the Fifth Dimension, The Byrds, Simon and Garfunkel...

Glen played with the Beach Boys for a while, filling in during one of Brian Wilson's freakouts. "Gentle On My Mind", "Galveston", "By The Time I Get To Phoenix", all great. But "Rhinestone Cowboy " was really my first introduction to him. I was 7 years old, and it might have been my first 45...

Wet grass is heavy, and you can wreck your mower trying to cut it. When it's dry, it's light enough to blow into the bag (if you have one of those attachments). Otherwise it can clump up on the blades, clog up the bag, and sieze the motor. When that happens, you might as well buy a new mower...
