There are some weeks when column ideas easily sprout chicken wings. And then some weeks they don’t. Over the years I have pulled ideas from lots of places. My occasional go-to, extra-crispy fried place was the daily newspaper. That is until we recently canceled our decades-long subscription. I know. Who does that after so many years? Think the customer service dude’s brain was instantly air-fried when he looked at my long history. I just couldn’t take it anymore. It was getting harder to find a buttered popcorn kernel of positive, funny, interesting or uplifting news, except perhaps for the comics. B.C. always gave me a chuckle.
