I wrote a thoughtful, fascinating, at times humorous post and then I clicked “Save Draft” because I had to leave my computer for a moment. WordPress then kicked me out of the program and made me log in again (I guess it had been a while since I last logged in). So, I re-entered my password, was brought back to the “Edit Post” page only to find everything I had typed was gone. So, sorry to disappoint you.<\/p>\n

I don’t feel like retyping everything.<\/p>\n

Here’s a recent book review I wrote: The Knowledge of Good and Evil<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

And the podcast of my radio interview is online now. Well, it’s probably been online for a while, but I just realized it. Go here to listen to it.<\/a><\/p>\n

Today I lunched at Edinborough Golf Course’s Girvan Grille<\/a> in Brooklyn Park. You can tell just by the name of it that it’s a swanky place to dine, because the word “Grill,” in the name, is spelled with a British L and E. And, for some completely asinine, stupid reason, everyone thinks using the British spelling makes things better. I guess that’s true, if by ‘better’ we mean ‘pretentious.’<\/p>\n

But hey, don’t hold that against Girvan Grille. The food was extremely tasty (walleye!) and the ambiance was spiffy. The prices were inflated beyond my lower-middle-class means, but I didn’t mind because – and here’s the best part – the vendor (who’s facility we had just toured) paid for me and the other five members in my group.<\/p>\n

Sometimes, I just have to stop and look around and say, “goddamit, what did I do to deserve this?” Usually, I mean that in a negative way. Today, during lunch, while sipping on my $3.00 iced tea, I meant it in a positive way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
