I love salad. More than life itself. Wait ~ does life have a self? That word "itself" is extra. Unnecessary. Who/m/ever wrote that almost-sentence was confused; or ~ possessed enormous spiritual insight. Was more confused than we salad lovers, anyway. PS: I also like tomatillo enchiladas with cilantro, more than life; and almond soup. And coco soup. And the soup they have in Portland, that's pink with fennel in it; and my spouse, who makes the soup. What if when you get to heaven, god says, "What did you bring me to eat?" He likes salad, too! Most people don't expect to get there when god's eating. And dozens, maybe thousands, don't have their recipes. Think again, any snacker-slackers. You'll be doing dishes. Oh ~ Remember Kliban's Ten Condiments? Better keep those, too.

Hello all. Off Topic. Has anyone else heard about the high school basketball player in the Chicago area who is suing his school district under the ADA to be reinstated to the team? Seems the kid got busted twice last spring on alcohol related offenses and was kicked off the team for violating the school's zero tolerance policy. He then is diagnosed an alcoholic and his lawyer is arguing that the alcohol addiction is a disability under the ADA and that the school district cannot deprive him of the privilege of playing on the basketball team because of the disability. A public school, by the way. He admits he violated the policy, that his behavior violated the law and that if he weren't an alcoholic the school would have every right to make him ineligible. Parents are poised to take the case all the way to The Supremes. The kid was a star player as a Junior on the school's team last year, which finished second in the big school class in Illinois.
