Happy National Adoption Day! I’ve seen it celebrated on different days in the past week, and it makes me think of a lot of things. As an adopted kid, I’m one of the lucky ones. Adopted as an infant and lucky to have parents who were really pioneers. They were risk takers in the

This week has been unremarkable in many ways here in Chez E. Nowhere. The guys have been in Arizona visiting the outlaws. As always, I’m not invited. I’m not sad about that at all. Nope. Not at all. So, my life has gone on as always, working and dong what I normally do. Since cooking
