I must have been asleep for that lesson… When the hell did binary come to mean a sexual identity instead of a mathematical term? Evidently members of our military are being forced to endure the movie Melania or face punishment. Wait? What about double jeopardy? Isn’t watching the movie punishment enough? They must have doneContinue reading “Loud and Clear”

Take Your Medicine/Super Bowl Critique
The venerable old Wall Street Journal asks: Where Did All The Cheap Restaurants Go? More of an observation than anything, but the only way to make money in the lower-end establishments is volume. High volume. It cures all ills on the Profit and Loss Statement: It lowers labor cost. It lowers operating costs. It lowersContinue reading “Take Your Medicine/Super Bowl Critique”
A Puncher’s Chance
I saw a clip of Queen Maxima (now THAT is a badass Queen’s name!) of Netherlands doing her best Donald Trump impersonation and what was hilarious is that she does a better DJT than he does. Being a former French chef, I find the topic of celebrity chefs to be a totally American contrivance, fueledContinue reading “A Puncher’s Chance”
All Over It
I Don’t Get It
Eighteen years old and getting ready to attend high school prom. No prom. Shot in the back. Dead. The kids who were with him said that they were just “playing a prank” in an attempt to get some views on TikTok. Oh, I get it. Haha. Details. Yes, by all means, DO sweat the smallContinue reading “I Don’t Get It”

The crap that passes for news these days… A story starts, Extraterrestrial aircraft identified in the California sky. First of all, no, you didn’t. Second of all, hey,Continue reading “Goings On”
Self-Confidence
It’s very easy to recognize someone who carries themselves with self-confidence; they are usually quiet and observant, taking everything in and their mind is always working. I got along well utilizing this skill. Especially in the highly competitive fine French dining arena where precision was every bit as important as the creative process. And IContinue reading “Self-Confidence”
Hello Again
My money is on California to be the next state to flip from Democratic to Republican if the antics of their beleaguered governor Gavin Newsome give any indication. Nothing surprises me in our political arena anymore. Take that dumbass New York governor Kathy Hochul whose dumbass solution to a low staffing problem caused by herContinue reading “Hello Again”
Chew on This
Just like an episode of Law and Order, a wrongly imprisoned man was released after thirty years when modern DNA technology backed up his unwavering assertion of innocence. If this indeed holds up, what price tag would you put on what is owed to this person? We can’t just say, “Sorry, oops and move on….Continue reading “Chew on This”
