But why don't we have those black-out rollers like they've always had in Europe? The ones built into the wall that completely vanish into the wall above, and when you shut them, they blot out all light completely. If the window faces west in the afternoon, you're in absolute darkness like you're at ...

I used aji amarillo, onions, garlic, green olives, tomatoes, and potatoes. It was the taste of Lima!

Yes, ask the wife. In my house, the wife just couldn't stand that there was a bathroom with a shower and no bathtub. And why not re-do the whole bathroom while we're at it? That project is now $20 K in the hole so far. Oh yeah, it looks great. Looks great.

Collins had a great first solo album, "No Jacket Required" when he was still in the Genesis mentality. Since then I haven't liked a single Phil Collins solo song after "In the Air Tonight" although Genesis still made some good music for a couple more years. Now Collins is all Muzak (elevator music)...

All afternoon I'll be cooking a Lima-style Peruvian chicken stew. But I have no recipe, I've never been to Peru, and I don't know what "Lima-style" would mean.

In the 2020's, the public figure that most defines our times is Phil Collins. Same with the 2010's, 2000's, 1990's, and 1980's. Thank you in advance to anyone who knows of a grocery store, dentist office, or hardware store I can enter without hearing a 1980's Phil Collins song pummeling forth throug...

At a Mother's Day potluck I met a former chef turned realtor who contributed a dish from Ghana called "red red", which was about the best thing I've ever eaten.

The Mt. Fuji bowl at Kukai in the Mercado Annex is the most delicious thing ever made by human beings. And it's fully Tucson-based in a Sonoran way. It would be a cross-cultural experience for people visiting from Japan.

My daughter is on an airliner from Seattle/Tacoma to Tokyo Japan, with an almost 4 year old and an almost 2 year, both boys. Her husband is there, but if you see someone walking toddlers up and down the aisle, it's them. I took that same flight around 1978, and it was brutally long for me just by m...

On a related note, all of these teams named after Arizona instead of Phoenix seems so stupid to me. I get why the Diamondbacks had to do it at the time, but be like the Angels and change it. No fans of these franchises outside Maricopa County would care any less. But there's an enormous difference ...

It's nice in Albuquerque right now. Tomorrow in Oklahoma I suspect it will be windy and racist. The next day in Arkansas it will likely be humid and ignorant. You're following the route toward Hell.

So can I get paid for all the research, teaching prep, and service I do from May 15 through August 14? Or do I have to keep working those three months for no pay?

I wouldn't trade. The high is 43 degrees here in Pittsburgh today. As you walk down the street, the bone-chilling wind snuffs out the light of your soul. The cheerless urban fabric frames it in dystopian tones. They can have it. I'm going back to Tucson soon.

I know that brewing beer was an acceptable excuse from Old-New Kingdom Egypt. Workers were given a standard allowance of beer brewing days per year.
