Type only while standing

Hemingway app, huh? It will gauge your writing’s proximity to Papa’s, but you’ll never have the soul for the actual sentiment. The good part is you won’t be an anti-Semitic drunk with suicidal tendencies. The bad part is that you’ll miss out on writing things like this… Continue reading

asparagus

Eat ’em up!

However, today we take a departure from the brocco and instead tout something that truly signifies springtime: the Sparrow’s Grass, a k a the asparagus.

gearshift

Our wants are simple…just a sixth gear, please!

Here it is, one of those Special Sundaysz in La-La Land. It will be absolutely wonderful to take to the local streets around 5 p.m. PST, with the open road ahead of us, poking in and out of various establishments and eateries to see them utterly devoid of customersz — just like it is every day here at the ol’ Cynthia Publishing Company! Occasions like Oscar Night, Super Bowl Sunday, Yom Kippur, the eight nights of the Passover are all worth it for the simple bliss of being able to roam around freely on the highways and byways, go into the restaurants and see them not filled at all with those mopesz who demand sending every last dish back into the kitchen. Ah! Continue reading
