My 10-year-old nephew reports that my 66-year-old dad has announced plans to patent the video game “Tuba Hero.”

According to my nephew, what’s truly funny about this pronouncement is that he can’t tell if his grandpa is joking.

In other tangentially guitar-hero related news, my 7-year-old niece is working on a re-write of Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger.” The little I’ve heard so far sounds promising: “He’s smelling us all with the nose …… of the Tiger!”

I was angry when Ralston-Purina, focusing their energies on the chocolate chip flavor, stopped production of vanilla Cookie Crisp. I was nine years old. I wrote them a letter.

And so began my political activism, and relative indifference toward chocolate.

There’s nothing quite like a car running over your foot to make the rest of your body feel lucky.
