All clear six months after completing chemo/radiation treatments.

If this isn’t the best chili I’ve ever had, it’s certainly the best I’ve ever made.

Elwood’s favorite dining delicacy was dry white toast.

I became a fan of dry white toast while undergoing cancer treatments last summer, when this Pratt was put on a BRAT diet of bananas, rice, applesauce and toast. Since then I have been buying these $1.99 loaves of white bread that toast up perfectly.

As explained a while ago, one of the roller mechanisms on my Nordic Track machine — the original model, that mimics cross-country skiing — was slipping.

I’d found an explanation of how a simple trick — it’s genius! — to fix the problem, by cleaning out the roller with penetrating oil. It was quite easy to do, and it worked.

If there’s a human interest film genre, where instead of a plot there’s a premise that provides the basis for character interaction, Fourteen Hours belongs in it. Two excellent actors, Howard da Silva and Jeff Corey, were about to be blacklisted from Hollywood, while Grace Kelly and Jeffrey Hunter were making their screen debuts.
