The Soapbox Derby

* A recent road trip took me through a fairly rural corner of Tennessee. During one five-mile stretch, I passed an Antioch Baptist Church and a roadside bar called The Do Drop Inn. Because of my familiarity with the Charlie Daniels Band, I started getting real nervous about flat tires.

* Some days you just want to stay holed up in your Batcave, watching “Mad Men” and eating smoked almonds. When the Batcave days start to outnumber the non-Batcave days, you might have a problem.

* This morning I saw one of the groundskeepers at a local cemetery on a tractor hauling flowers from one part of the facility to the other. He had to wait for a break in traffic on a very busy road, then gun it across four lanes with a trailerful of mums rattling behind him. I decided that every time my job seems difficult, I would think about that guy on the tractor.

* The Food Network is missing out on a huge demographic opportunity - a cooking show for men specializing in chili and nachos recipes. They could call it “Cooking with Gas.”

* Madonna is dating a guy named Jesus. I think we all saw that one coming.
