Fried potatoes for tonight's dinner—I don't often make them, for obvious reasons. First time I made them for Ernie I dropped some into the hot grease, splashed myself and had to go to the hospital, causing Ernie to miss the launch of NASA's first orbital mission.
I am an alien. Really. I was born in England and moved to the United States in 1963, about the same time as the English pop mania hit. Everyone I met wondered if I knew Paul or Ringo. As I grow older, I become more and more nostalgic and reading English on-line journalers has become a way to bridge the gap.
