Hydrox cookies, the first creme filled chocolate sandwich cookie, began returning to grocery stores nationwide in late August for a limited time. This unprecedented reintroduction on the part of Kellogg Company, in response to impassioned consumer demand, comes in honor of the cookie’s 100th anniversary.
#BreakfastMichaelT Michael T. and I had breakfast together yesterday morning and he told me that Pat Buchanan, of all people, just gushed about Obama’s speech Thursday night. I happened upon the clip on the Internets if you want to see it at the link above —— Astonishing!
Michael and I talked for at least three hours about politics and some about religion. He is a man of deep spiritual faith and I am not so much.
He is one of the few people I feel comfortable discussing religion with because he doesn’t take personal offense when I say the kind of unfaithful things I say. I am sure there is much we can agree on, but the few things that we differ on are at the heart of the discussion.
It is good to have such discussions without rancor —— and that may be the mark of a true Christian —— the ability to address opposing views without being aloof and with enough humility to simply say “I don’t know” occasionally.

#Piaggio I took a fifty-mile motorcycle ride later in the afternoon and it was much more fun with the new wind screen. I still have some troubles with my butt going numb. I had too much air in the seat cushion and that didn’t help. If I get too much air in it the air gathers in the void between my legs and when I hit a bump it mashes my boy bits. Not Good! Not enough air and it doesn’t work at all and my butt goes numb. We shall get it worked out eventually. I hope.

#BreakfastMichaelT I am touched and appreciative of your kind words. You also deserve considerable credit for not making it too difficult for me. Clearly, you show respect of my views whether you agree with them or not and you could be offensive about it if you chose to.
