High and Lo Mein

For the second time in 15 years the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a group dedicated to not liking anything, has decided that eating Chinese food is extremely bad for us. What they fail to explain is how come there are more than one billion Chinese people living. The same group had a beef about pizza too, so I am not happy with them at all.

We see by this video of NASA running test for the new spaceship Orion that the space agency runs like most other businesses: First drop something then have three or four guys stand around looking at it. Warning: You might have to first watch a commercial. The one I saw informed me that plastics are everywhere and that they are made by chemicals. Gosh!

Opera people are so wimpy they don't even want underwear thrown on stage while they perform.

Red Sox fans don't like this: history shows that teams improve when A-Rod leaves. Maybe his Yankee teammates would chip in together for a going away present.

Let me guess, it smelled like asparagus.

SELF-PROMOTION WARNING:
You Can Help Me To Become A Published Novelist!
The website, Gather.com, is conducting a contest called First Chapters with Touchstone/Simon & Schuster to find and publish a new author. By reading my submission, which is the first chapter of my book, and giving it a fair (i.e: high) rating, I might make it past the first round of 2,500 entries that is being whittled down to 20. You will need to sign up as a member of Gather.com to vote, but it is free and doesn’t hurt or cause lightheadedness or anything.

The story I submitted is called Simon Sez, Help! Learn more about the book here. It is a Young Adult novel about a boy and a ghost and their friendship, sort of like Old Yeller, but with less barking. There is also a really mean school headmaster and a lot of really cool stuff that happens in subsequent chapters that will never be read by millions of children unless the book advances. You don’t want that on your conscience, do you? By the way, my sons Kevin and Chris have read the entire manuscript and both gave the book a completely unbiased two thumbs up. This first phase of the contest ends March 30th, so don’t wait. This is the link that brings you right to my entry. Thanks.
