You were kidnaped by coyotes? Does that make you the Minnesota version of Mowgli? Did you befriend a black bear? Did you talk to the wild animals in their language? I would double-up on the olive oil.
I’m planning on brushing my teeth with olive oil. I heard somewhere- maybe it was on the internet- that brushing your teeth with olive oil is really good for something or other.
Thank you for sharing your essay. My wife and I received 500 get out and vote in Arizona postcards yesterday. We will buy postcard stamps and mail our hand-written postcards in early October. The postcards will be mailed to Arizona residents who previously voted for Democrats.
Good morning…I’m with a group of about six who are writing postcards. We each sent 10 to Arizona last month. This month, May, we are sending to a Michigan. 😊
Metacognition is a great word, one of my favorites, and it sounds like you're thinking about the way you're thinking. A couple of my other favorites are petrichor and defenestration.
I had a similar childhood in Southern Minnesota, but our faithful Collie, Laddie saved me from the Coyotes and the mean Holstein bull. My older brother protected me from myself.
At your very best today. Happy I took a few unprecious minutes (I'm retired) to read this. Now I have a use for that oversized bottle of olive oil I bought at Costco.
Hahahaha! Exactly! My thoughts immediately went to that gallon of Kirkland olive oil, sitting in the back of my cupboard, that I bought for a 'bargain' at my Costco last year.
Garrison, the UPS company delivered your book, "Cheerfulness" yesterday. Started reading it during lunch and find it soothing. It's now Friday, you can go ahead and take the rest of the day off. RR
GK. We can abide losing many things as we age, as long as we can keep laughing. You remain a source of revitalizing laughter for me. Might be as good as olive oil.
Dr. Google confirms and validates my suspicions-olive oil combined with meditation cures all. The results are in, I'm healthy, happy, and still enjoy increasing my vocabulary. Your alliteration are smooth as olive oil, Garrison. It's kickin' in.
You are the rich cream in my morning coffee.
Sane for me if I still drank coffee
So wonderful to have you in my life. Thank you.
Oh my goodness. Thank you!

Pure fiction- we know you love dirty jokes.

Thanks for the tip. I may floss with it as well.

You would have made a very homely woman . . . not that there's anything wrong with that.

Singers swallow a bit of olive oil before a show, I hear. I hope you are willing to pay more for EVOO—wink, wink, nod, nod.
I only use EVOO.
A wonderful column, one of your best!
Your storytelling gift never loses its luster.
Olive oil or not, you’re sharp as a tack.
I'm sharp as a screw, sometimes sharp as a cork.

Love your writing - Wobegon Boy is my go-to comfort read. Without olive oil though 😀
Best smile I've had in weeks - thank you!!
