Just a reminder — if you want to plan something special for Valentine’s Day, a friend of mine is helping to organize a really fun event in Troutville, Virginia. Details below; you can buy tickets right here.
“The Lone Wolf,” Alfred Wierusz-Kowalski
Oil on canvas. (The artist apparently completed more than one painting with this title.)
Throwback Thursday: a story that’s cheesy but true.
When I was sixteen years old and working at McDonald’s, we would throw cheese at the break room ceiling like this. We tried other foods too (we had high hopes for the pickles), but I think cheese was the only reliable standby. Good times.
Actually … I might have been younger when I worked there. I would have been able to drive back and forth with a driver’s permit at sixteen, if memory serves? And McDonald’s had a van that picked up the younger employees who couldn’t drive.

Benny Marconi’s is the best pizza place in Roanoke.
Look at the size of that slice. (I placed it next to that full-seized coffeepot for reference.) And it doesn’t cost much either.
Granted, there is nothing quite like a slice of New York pizza, but this is a superlative effort.
