It’s once again that season when socialists load up their SUVs and motorhomes and take to road, traversing the country on interstate highways paid for, in part, by poor working families who will never have to time or money to enjoy them.

The world of restaurants can be likened to the ocean. The food business fluctuates between fierce and turbulent versus calm and quiet. Most often, it’s a simple matter of ebb and flow. Geoff Cowles know this better than most. He’s been riding the wave for over three decades.

As I write this, it’s Father’s Day evening. I’ve checked out in the driveway several times, and I still haven’t seen any convertibles out there with a bow on top and my name on the tag. So I decided to browse around the internet for the perfect summer car and report my findings back to you. Not that I’m buying, but I’m curious.

An American man named David Philips took maximum advantage. He bought 12,150 pudding cups for $3,000, earning himself more than a million frequent flyer miles—enough to fly to Europe and back 31 times.

It just struck me the other night that my husband of three years is a whiner. We went out to dinner and all he could talk about was how much he hates his job. Wishes he’d done something else with his life. On and on, through appetizer, main course, and dessert. I tried changing the topic, but it was no use.
