Per the advice of one of my favorite comedians, Doug Benson, I had my first McDonald's McGriddles experience yesterday, and here's my two cents. The Positive: 1. The flavors work well together. I mean, what could go wrong with a syrup-infused bun made out of pancake batter? 2. The savory egg and cheese did a good job balancing the sweet of each McGriddle. 3. The sandwich seemed more portable than an egg and cheese biscuit. I wasn't worried about crumbs falling and leaving oil stains on a nice shirt or tie. The Negative: 1. The McGriddle buns were cold. (I'll chalk this up to the fact that I ordered this at 10:26 AM, four minutes before the breakfast cut-off.) 2. As you can see from the photo, the bun was smushed just a tad. Verdict: According to food scientists, there is an optimal combination of ingredients that makes food highly palatable - sugar, salt, fat, flavor, and texture - and delicious. McGriddles packs a hyper-palatable punch using sweet and savory f

Robert Klein KILLED last night!

Last night, I saw comedy legend Robert Klein at the Punchline in Atlanta, Georgia. He absolutely killed with a mix of new and old material. Unfortunately, the room was only half-full. Why that was the case, I have no earthly idea. He's in town working on new material for his 9th HBO special. Good news - there's another show scheduled for tonight. If you are near Atlanta and want to see a living legend in standup comedy for under $30/ticket perform in an intimate venue, GO SEE ROBERT KLEIN TONIGHT. Tickets are on sale at www.punchline.com .

Ruby LOVES Colbert’s Americone Dream!

Dogs love ice cream; however, Ruby cannot get enough of Stephen Colbert’s Americone Dream. She is a fan of Colbert (loves the commentary, but can do without the Bear Hatred). But when I let her have the remnants of a pint of his Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, she became a ravenous maniac! Photo Below: Technorati Tags: Americone Dream , Colbert , Ben & Jerry , Atlanta

Photos from Paris

Nikki and I went to Paris for my final spring break ever!  Promise! As we used to say:  WOOOO! SPRING BREAK! So, we took many photos including the following. To the left is Nikki and I heading to Versailles.  What a big home and so few bathrooms! Here we are atop the Arc de Triomphe.  If any of you know me, you know that I hate heights.   (That’s why G-d put me so low to the ground…)Luckily, to get to the top of the arch, you climb a completely enclosed, spiral staircase.  Once at the top, you get fantastic views to the entire city; and it’s a great place to watch the sun set.

Meet Ruby Klein Baer.

  This is Ruby, our lab-kangaroo mix dog.  She came to us from the Fulton County Animal Shelter in 2005. She loves to eat anything resembling food, and she’s been known to eat eyeglasses, markers, latex gloves, and the occasional notepad.  No worries, though, because she has a stomach of iron and a colon of steel!
