Pig needs to stop using a fountain pen; he has so many ink splotches on himself that soon he will be pilloried in the press for appearing in blackface.
You can see how much more philosophical Stephan has become over the course of time. If I remember correctly, these musings were the exception, rather than the rule. A while back, we were seeing much more of Larry’s silly (but funny) techniques to entrap “Zeeba neighba” and the like. Now that’s pretty rare. That’s what happens when you get older – you start to question what you valued earlier and that’s what occupies your mind.
At my age, I only want good pizza (if at all), and that’s actually more expensive (or a heck of a lot more work if I make it) than a tasty meal that doesn’t have all the food groups mixed together. But we do make a pizza every so often:
Home-made dough from our 150 year old starter
Plenty of local veggies: Onions, fennel, ’shrooms, maybe spinach or zucchini
Optional meat: Chicken, pork or sausage chunks (probably left overs)
Home made pesto (yummm!) Nothing but EVOO, salt, garlic, pepper and fresh basil, blended until smooth and frozen in 1/2 pint jars.
Plenty of mozzarella and parmesan
Chili flakes on the side (I like ‘em, spouse doesn’t)
Peace and quiet from my neighbor who plays loud music all afternoon when I want to sit outside and read, listening to the birds. Of course, if I were rich, I’d just MOVE.
Bed makes my back hurt. Coffee keeps me awake. Can’t digest pizza all that well any more. Guess I’ll have to lower my bar to medications, GoComix and Netflix. ;D

I’d trade pizza for tacos. I’d remind you, I live in Mexico City and we have the best tacos….

Sex, drugs, rocknroll, food, sleep, and comedy.
Not necessarily in that order.

Sadly, most of us over the age of college can no longer eat pizza and coffe if we want to sleep in that bed. Acid reflux and insomnia are a b*tch.

I’ll take the bed and the pizza, but eliminate the coffee. I’ll take Mountain Dew instead and I don’t care how bad it is for your teeth, either!
