    I am so disgusted with the nightmare in Caster Semenya’s life I cannot even describe it.  The world should be celebrating the stunning accomplishments of one of our most extraordinary young athletes.  Instead, the media is gleefully turning an innocent 19 year old girl into a circus sideshow.  And the commentary in the blogosphere and on the internet is so sickening that I am seriously wondering about the wisdom of the First Amendment.

    This is not news.  It is cruelty, pure and simple.  And I…

    On the short list of most enjoyable books I have ever read is a little volume titled “On Drink” by the novelist Kingsley Amis.  Turns out that in addition to being a brilliant novelist, the guy knew his stuff about alcoholic beverages… and he wrote three short volumes on the subject.  Numbers 2 and 3 are so-so, but the first is brilliant, funny stuff.

    In it, Amis describes a weight loss program that he calls the Boozing Man’s Diet.  The idea is to lose weight while still preserving, to the…

    Well, THAT got your attention, didn’t it?

    It sure felt that way last night, though.  As I’ve probably bored you with already, I am really trying to minimize the amount of makeup I can get away with wearing.  It’s incredible to me to look back at the photos of me wearing a heavy dose of MAC full coverage foundation with lots of powder.  With a little practice, it looked ok.  But I sure remember how uncomfortable it was, and how un-natural it looked up close.  So I eventually switched over to…
