I was at a friend Ben’s house to watch the Super Bowl. Eagles almost pulled it out. What’s the percentage of successful on-side kicks, anyway? I read something about that recently. Paul McCartney sure has the head bob thing going when he performs. There’s something a bit off-putting about his style. It’s as if he’s doing a cover of his own songs. The emotions I sense from him do not seem to match the song, rather, they seem to say “Hey look, I’m singing this song now (for the Nth time), isn’t it great?@! Woohoo!” Yet, the guy is still writing songs and is ambitious enough to try different styles. So that’s admirable.
Ben’s friend Pauli will soon be a chef, and Ben says that because of his influence, he can now taste the difference among different types of salt, and “organic” vs. normal milk. Pretty neat. Like anything else, cooking and tasting is a skill to be acquired, and with it, a greater appreciation of life.
