Separated at Birth?

Sean Payton and Frankie "Malcom in the Middle" Muniz?

Amidst the interminable dross, Torn Slatterns and Nugget Ranchers

The Opening Ceremonies at the Vancouver Winter Olympics went well besides no snow and they couldn't light the cauldron. Which is like saying your Toyota drives well except for the accelerator and the brakes.


Sarah Palin called for Rahl Emanuel's firing for saying retarded; and she is serious, Sarah even wrote it on her hand: "Phigher Rhl E. Man U L."


After two embarrassing interviews, John Mayer has stayed off Twitter. Of course now that we know he likes to masturbate his problems away, maybe his thumbs are busy doing something else.


Since you asked:

All of my favorite places have distinct smells in my mind. My home in Winnetka smelled like coffee, cinnamon and ivory soap and my stuffed dog Morgy, who smells like love.

Chicago smells like sleet on the sidewalk, grilled sausage, mustard and a hint of a distant cigar.

Santa Barbra smells like fog, eucalyptus and salt air with just a hint of the tar on the beach. Except for State Street which smells like Esau's Coffee Shop.

San Francisco smells like sourdough bread, boiled shrimp and burning cable car brakes.

New York smells like crisp Northeast fall air and cab exhaust with a slight hint of restaurant garbage.

San Diego smells like purple sage, sand and the ocean and the pines at Torrey Pines.

Our house in San Diego? Right now it smells like toast, A.C.'s shampoo and coffee. Tonight it will smell like sauteed onions, roasted garlic and grilled steaks. And wine. With the cheerful dulcet voice of Bob Costas on the big screen.
