Big W00t for a Bacon Valentine
Wow! No matter which side you’re on, there’s nothing like a presidential inauguration. I’m excited, exhausted and ready to play.
Play?
Yes, play, in the big sense of putting one’s cards on the table and getting on with it, and the silly sense of your average goofy knock knock joke. Play.
I’m taking a few days to embrace the giggle and the wiggle and the need to have fun. That’s not to say there won’t be thought involved. Knowing myself, I know there’s no way I’ll stop thinking. Metagconition (thinking about thinking) is my patron saint, and I won’t fight it. I will, however, engage thought a la play.
My Heart Belongs to Bacon
With apologies to Walt Whitman’s “0 Captain! My Captain,” here’s an alternative caption for you: Bacon! Oh my bacon! Thy crispy grip is yum.
Yes, I’m starting up with a preemptive nudge at Valentine’s Day pork, and I don’t mean the commercialization of chocolaholicism. I’m talking about the enduring allure of bacon, in all its grand and gratuitous salt, fat and cholesterol. Eating bacon, or at least fantasizing about it, is like embracing sex and defying death. Who can resist?
