The last time I ate at one of Chef Adolfo Garcia’s restaurants, my server was a large fellow with broad shoulders, a husky voice and an enormous pair of tits.

Little Monsters
If you’re wondering how Frankenstein managed to sire a daughter, let alone one who has inherited his neck bolts and surgical scars, you are missing the point.

Simon Saysnew
I cannot believe my good fortune when, at the Guilford County GOP headquarters, Eddie Simon slides into the seat next to me carrying what appears to be a genuine, honest-to-goodness three-ring binder.

Service with a grimace
John Isner’s serve is a study in leverage, trajectory physics and efficiency of movement.
He bounces the ball between his gangly legs, taps it with his racket and neatly catches it off the ground in his left hand. He gives it a light, fingertip toss and it hovers there for a split second at the apogee, 11, maybe even 12 feet off the surface of the hardcourt. He shifts his weight to his front leg as his body leans into the stroke, and he gives a little jump just before the moment of impact, stretching his 6-foot-9 frame to its limits.

High Point for Romney and Ryan
The kids are hating it. Just two days into the campaign, which began in earnest the day before when Mitt Romney named Paul Ryan as his running mate on the Republican presidential ticket, Ryan’s kids and Romney’s grandkids — all at around 10 years old, all on stage behind the candidates — have the same dazed look that every kid gets after surviving a prolonged road trip.

Crossing the river
The Mississippi River, the largest on our continent and the fourth longest in the world, makes a spectacular bend around the city of New Orleans, effectively turning the city into a peninsula and giving geographical basis to the nickname Crescent City.

Some like it hot
I moved to Louisiana in August 1988 from the coastal, watercolor world of Long Island, where cross breezes from the Atlantic and the Long Island Sound swept the summer heat into a bearable scirocco that smelled, always, faintly of the sea.
