California Chicken Salad

    Hey, everyone. Thought I'd tell you about some good eating I just did. My wife and I went to O'Charley's, which is a chain in the south. I got a California Chicken Salad which is maybe the best salad I've had. It had lettuce, grilled chicken, cranberries, strawberries, candied pecans, mandarin oranges, and blue cheese crumblies, if you are so inclined. I opted out on the blue cheese. I also chose ranch dressing over the balsamic vinaigrette. I topped this off with half an appetizer platter and four rolls. Hey, I see the smirk, but I hadn't had any breakfast.
    I received an early birthday present. It's a new songbook which has some really good tunes in it. Trying to be good and spend the evening typing the new book but the temptation is to play the new songs instead. Just finished writing a short story about an earth dude who gets involved in a war between vampires and humans on another planet. It's about 150 pages long, less when it's typed. I would say watch for it but as slow as I type you might get a crick in your neck. I believe you'll like it, though.
    Hey, the other night as I was coming home I almost ran over a coyote about a mile from the house. He just kept running up the center of the road. I suspect he had a coyote death wish. Perhaps from a tragic love affair.

PS: If you rent a movie tonight try an oldie, The Birds by Alfred Hitchcock. It's pretty good, maybe 4 stars out of five.
PPS: The appetizer platter had potato skins with bacon bits and sour cream, chicken tenders and spicy cheese wedges.

The White Chicken Mystery

    The other night I happened to come home very late. It was the middle of the night and I was driving up a steep mountain road. Near the top I saw something white in my headlights. It was standing in the other lane, standing very still. It was a large white chicken. It was probably a rooster because I thought I could see his comb as I whizzed by at my customary pace. He never moved a muscle. This is weird, don't you think?      After a couple of days to consider this phenomenon, I have come up with some plausible answers for his bizarre behavior. 1. He was conflicted whether or not he should cross the road. 2. He was feeling cocky and decided to play chicken with the traffic. 3.He was being hen-pecked at home and had decided to end it all. 4. Someone had egged him on to do it. 5. He had just watched the movie Fantastic Four and decided to try to stop a truck the way that Ben Grimm did on the bridge. 6. He had driven himself crazy wondering if ...

Batman Lives In Washington, DC

    Hey, everyone. I just read an interesting article on Washington Post.Com by Mike Rosenwald. It was titled Who Is the Route 29 Batman? This is a true story about a guy that the cops pulled over. The guy was driving a black Lamborghini with Batman plates. There were yellow Batman symbols on the doors. They had a video from the police car that showed him being pulled over. He was wearing a Bat-suit which he said cost him $5000. His gig is that he visits sick children in area hospitals and hands out Bat-Toys and Bat-books to cheer the kids up.     His name is Lenny B. Robinson and he says that the 'B' stands for Batman. He is perfectly sane and is just a good dude trying to make a difference. He is a self-made millionaire and is currently having a duplicate of the Batmobile custom-made at a cost of $250,000.    It was a hoot, watching the cops having their pictures made with the Bat Guy. Someone asked him where Robin was and he said that the boy won...

Cake Is Better Than Swords

Hey, everyone. On Thanksgiving, we had a get-together here at The Author's Green Retreat. One lady brought a cake which I wanted to show you. It had the look of a Roman Coliseum about it. Inside it was just as decadent...and fun, as ancient Rome. When I cut it open, homemade marshmallow cream began to ooze out in several spots, running over the chocolate cake and peanut butter icing. It is best served warm so the cream is fluid. Very tasty. The same lady, and her children, are people who have played a lot of Skyrim. They gave me some pointers on the game because I am having problems with it. They taught me how to fast travel, and a ton of other things, but the main thing was the armor and clothing problem. This is a little embarrassing, but let me explain. Okay. For several weeks when I played, I would enter towns and everyone I met would comment on my nakedness. I would select a tunic and shoes, whatever, go back around people and they would say something about it. I guess I w...
