Remember the joys of early air travel? You know, those days where they showed you a movie that you could hear without having to pay for ear buds, stowed your luggage without a fee and actually fed you a free meal on any flight that was longer than two hours? I’ll admit, the food wasn’t exactly fine dining, but depending on the airline, it wasn’t bad. I remember flying to Rome on Alitalia many years ago and being served a pretty darn tasty veal cannelloni and a nice Pinot Grigio to wash it down with too. Oh, yeah. Those were the days…

When we were kids, every family barbecue ended the same way. We’d run around the backyard looking for long thin sticks, and load them up with marshmallows. Then, as the fire on the charcoal grill began to die down, we’d toast them over the glowing embers. My little brother …
