Compared to this, I really DO have a life!

It's admittedly tempting and often all-too-easy to make fun of people's extra-curricular pursuits. The movie Best in Show -- playfully tweaking over-the-top dog shows -- comes to mind, for instance.

I think I've found a new "winner," however. The International Federation of Competitive Eating. Of course, it's quite possible that the joke's on me, and that this isn't a real organization at all. After all, this IS very hard to believe.

This just goes to show that... um... wow. What DOES this show? I'm at a loss here.

Why, oh why, please tell me why!

Finally, a tax break that makes sense!

When I read that the U.S. government was offering tax credits for people buying SUVs, I was incensed but not surprised.

Imagine my contrasting pleasure, then, when I just read today that a congressman has proposed giving a tax break to those who cycle to work.

Colorful food in Brussels, Belgium

Food that is tempting to touch and taste that I discovered in one of the main squares of beautiful Brussels, Belgium during a visit in 1998.

Drinking and causality

Here's info on yet another report that suggests drinking is good for one's health. Though far be it from me to protest the conclusions, I do have to admit to lingering doubts surrounding issues of correlation and causality.

Ja! I’m going to Deutschland!

I finally got my ticket ($249 roundtrip San Francisco<-->Frankfurt with a very special special!), and I'll once again be spending Christmastime with wonderful friends in Germany.

Of course, I can be a little cranky, and moan about the icky cold I'll be facing, the insane hassles of peak-time holiday air travel (in coach, no less), and so on. But aside from getting to spend time with great people, I'll also come back, once again, with a suitcase full of chocolate goodies.
