I love my Stella McCartney boyfriend jeans, bought on sale at Harrods in London.

For a more pleasant commute to the West End theatres and cinemas, I would take the bus along Cromwell Road into Knightsbridge and pass by Harrod's about halfway from Earl's Court to Leicester Square.

The Lost Weekend and Leaving Los Vegas were other interpretations of the same problem. My autobiopic of my adolescent and teenage days would cover some of the same material, watching my dad destroy his prime and hurting much more than just himself. It's probably why I never married or had children.

Tyler Perry is considering developing my proposed thumbnail sitcom pitch called "Divorced With Chitlins" about a struggling single dad who works as a Foot Locker manager and attempts to raise two teenage kids after his wife leaves him high and dry.

Darius Rucker sings a song, "Rock Me Like a Wagon Wheel." It's a country song but I think it's sometimes played on radio rock stations.

Mixing blue cheese in a sauce is not a french or italian way to eat blue cheese.When it comes to this appetizer there are no bones about it. We take the tenderloin of the chicken, cook it to perfection and then toss it in our famous wing sauce. Served with celery sticks and Bleu Cheese dressing.
-- Rucker Johns
To eat blue cheese with something sweet gives the blue cheese the ultimate flavor. Blue cheese with figs are perfection.

Green-skinned figs [Sierra] sliced in half and topped with olive oil and cheese are just delicious.

Sitting here at Starbucks under a green umbrella and reading these above posts is making my salivary glands work overtime; that is, double and triple overtime. I have a fig tree at home and when the time is right, I'm going to try one with blue cheese after a good helping of delicious chicken wings.

Using sweet Gorgonzola is a good idea.
I just ate baked Chevre with honey and pistaccio. Chorizo sausages baked with vegetables on the side.

Chorizo sausages, chicken and every variety of shellfish from the coastal waters of Spain should be the minimal required ingredients for any chef to prepare a dish called paella. Add in loads of grilled vegetables and a hearty portion of saffron rice, great conversation with your kitchen mates and a healthy dose of fresh hand-made Sangria and you have a winner of an evening.

That sounds winning and brings to mind how great a conversation can be with good friends around a bonfire.

Uncle Cid is a family member I haven't seen in 40 years or so. We were close in my teens and we may have stayed in touch longer had he brought some authentic Swiss souvenirs back from his bicycle tour of Basel with his host Albert H. Those gifts would have been a real test to enjoy.

In dreams I have imagined a long strange trip with a good friend in a conversion truck following the path made by Steinbeck and his pal Charley. I wonder what America we will find. Will it still be there to find???

The phrase "long and winding" made me think of road, and my next thought was of Robert Frost and his poem, "The Road Not Taken," in which "two roads diverged in a wood."

This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend, the end
Of your elaborate bush, the end
Of everything that stands in my eye, the end
No safety and a surprise, the end
I'll never lick you with open eyes, again
Can you picture what I'll be, so limitless and free
Desperately in need, of some, ophthalmologist's hand
In a, desperate land
Lost in a Spanish wilderness of pain...

"Fair Game" is a great movie about the Valerie Plame CIA operative outing and raised my hackles about the cabal surrounding the engineering of the war in Iraq. How anyone involved in that criminality can look in the mirror in the morning and not feel guilt is beyond me.
