The e-mail that arrived the other day wasn't the first on the subject. To be honest, it's been more than a year since the original. I meant to check it out, but I got busy. Then it slipped to the back of my mind, where it laid low until someone else's e-mail kicked it to the forefront last week.

"Come on," she said, "It'll be fun." Whether it's fun or not we have teenagers in the house so any excuse to get away will have a palliative effect on my disposition. So off we went to Rosa Mexicano for a Saturday morning adult education session entitled: Real Men Cook Mexican. And fun it was. The merriment started when I stepped to the breakfast buffet to discover that one of the attendees, a woman who looked like Mammy Yokum's grandmother, had left her upper plate on the buffet table next to the pitcher of pineapple juice. No thank you. I'm...
