   Of course! Gluten isn’t an essential nutrient. :)

   My mother introduced me to Agatha Christie at an early age too. Later in my high school British Literature class, I used Christie as the subject of my term paper. We also studied Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre as one of the books in that course. I shocked my English teacher when I told him my mother had READ that book to me at about the age of 8!

   The FDA finally invented that elusive once-a-day pill I’ve always been waiting for? The one that fulfills all nutritional requirement and eliminates the need to eat at all for the rest of the day? One can always hope…

   I did a lot of reading for fun but I chafed and rebelled against “summer reading.” I worked my butt off during the school year, and nobody was going to infringe on MY VACATION time. I’d rush through the #$#!@! “summer reading” in the first few days just to be able to honestly say I’d done it…then usually do a terrible job on the summer reading test when school resumed…but I didn’t care. One lousy test didn’t have any effect on the solid “A” work I did for the rest of the term. Summer was MINE. Not my teachers’. And if I were still a student today I’d still be handling it exactly the same way.

   According to Wikipedia, Jimmy Carter started Grandparents’ day in the U.S. – it’s the first Sunday after Labor Day. Fortunately, the Hallmarks appear to not have gotten wind of it – so (so far) it’s never become a Holy Day of Greeting Card Obligation. (So mum’s the word; let’s keep it that way).

   That’s right! Not every dad wants to have to put on a monkey suit and waste a whole Sunday sitting around in a restaurant.

   Kale, Brussels sprouts, and that absolute least favorite of my childhood, POT ROAST / stew meat. Fatty, gristly, crap that had to be chewed and chewed and chewed for half an hour before I could finally manage to swallow it whole just to be able to get away from the table and back to playing. To this day my wife knows if she brings that awful meat home she’s going to be eating it herself.
