After my meat-quest from February down in Austin, Texas,
Jordan Rich and I decided that a show featuring healthier eating choices might
be in order. That, and a stern
talking-to by my gastroenterologist…nothing gets someone one the right track
more than a colonoscopy.
Join us at midnight on Saturday night, April 27, to talk
with us about eating healthier, and incorporating healthier choices in to your
meals. There will be serious talk, and
fun and frivolity, as always.
Now, emptying out a few items from the “garbage drawer” of my mind…
My Texas trip in April definitely proved to me that Texans
might have some crazy political ideas, but are some of the nicest people I’ve
ever met. Everything is bigger in Texas,
including their goodwill towards men!
Hook ‘em horns!
The Tilted Kilt Pub and Eateries put Hooters to shame. The owner says that one of his “rules” is to portray
class. I think he means “shows
ass”…check out a few shots from their website… http://www.tiltedkilt.com/. Thanks “Undercover Boss” for putting me on to
this.
A recent study proved that men who stare at large breasted
women live longer. Apparently the guys working
at the Tilted Kilt will live forever.
I am embarking tomorrow on a third college tour trip with
Junior Palate (how did I get so old?), to the Midwest. Are bratwursts a healthier eating choice?
Each time I do these tours, I long for the good old days…get
a copy of Barron’s Guide to Colleges, see how your scores and grades match up,
send away for an application, send it back with a check, and wait. Now, each trip is preceded with internet
research, reviewing the local area via Bing or Google Maps, planning out each
minute to see the area, then getting hours long admission presentations with
Powerpoints, videos, marching band appearances…you get the point. Colleges sell themselves harder than ever,
and are harder than ever to get in to…they are expert marketers selling nothing
but possibilities of hopes and dreams, grabbing thousands in application fees,
then dashing those hopes and dreams making themselves look more exclusive, and
hence, more attractive than ever…it’s a killer cycle, as anyone who has been
through this process recently understands. Managing expectations is very difficult, and
the results can be tragically nuclear.
At least Josh and I are getting to see some new places… with hopes and
dreams of admission possibilities.
Anyone have a bunker we can hide in until next April 1?
With the Boston Marathon running on Monday, April 15, I want
to say that I admire and respect those that train long, lonely hours to get
chafed over 26 miles. I’m in shape
(round is a shape, right?), but I get winded walking to the bathroom. I’ll never run a marathon, but good luck to
all my friends and acquaintances running on Monday, especially to those running
to raise awareness, and money for various illnesses and charities.
Next up, a review of college town eateries, with some
hopefully healthier choices. Until next
time, eat often.
