In refreshing contrast to I-95, Route 17 through the South Carolina Lowcountry is a very scenic drive. The highway skims through salt marshes and lush forests that seem to grow straight out of the water. Continue reading

I went to use the men’s room yesterday.
While I was standing there, I looked down.
There was a logo on the toilet.
It said “American Standard.”
And I thought, “That’s more fitting than they realize.”
Today is Yom Kippur. And so on this, The Day of Atonement, I ask for forgiveness for my sins oh Lord.
You might want to sit down.
For starters, I skipped synagogue on Rosh Hashannah. So I should definitely apologize for that. It was VERY wrong to ditch Temple in order to go to the Virgin Music Festival at Pimlico Race Course. I should’ve spent the day listening to the Shofar. Not The Flaming Lips, The Killers and The New Pornographers.
I took Natty for a walk to Fells Point tonight.
She pooped.
I reached into the pocket of my jeans and pulled out a wadded plastic grocery bag.
Placing my hand inside the bag, I bent down and grabbed the poop.
I pulled the bag inside out and tied the handles shut.
On the outside of the bag, it said “THANK YOU HAVE A NICE DAY.”
This is my life.
Today, I’m ecstatic to report that I’ve achieved my life-long goal:
To become the #1 ranked Brian Eden on Google.
Go ahead. Try it.
It doesn’t matter if you put it in quotes or not.
Either way, I’m #1.

There are truckloads of other Brian Edens out there, jockeying for first place. (No pun intended, Brian Eden, director of the Sioux Falls Trucking Association).
I made Jamie Oliver’s “Working Girl’s Pasta” last night. “Pasta Puttanesca,” as Jamie explains, is Italian for “Whore’s pasta.” Though he’s not really sure why: “Maybe it’s because the dish was cooked very quickly, with no effort involved, or maybe it’s something the local prostitutes used to eat at home – who knows?!.” Continue reading
