How would Robert Frost write “Stopping by Woods on A Snowy Evening” for the Winter Solstice? \u00a0Somehow the carriage sunk in mud while the rain beats down just doesn’t carry the same poetics.<\/p>\n

Annual physical finished. \u00a0Tom Davis, the internist whom I see, enters the State Fair art contest every year in photography and has never got admitted. \u00a0He has one of his pieces in his office and it’s pretty damn good. \u00a0A pensive work in Galena, Illinois.<\/p>\n

Each year after the physical, since fasting is required, I go to Hell and have breakfast. \u00a0Hell has its Minneapolis location in the basement of the building next to the Medical Arts parking ramp. \u00a0An all punk wait staff, classic movies projected on a big screen and broadcast over TV’s, and an imaginative menu make Hell a bigger draw than you might imagine.<\/p>\n
