The Roadside Motel

The sign says vacancy and the pool is small and the ice machine is at the end of the hall and all of this is fine. You have stayed in places like this your whole life and there is a specific comfort in the thin curtains and the two channels of local news. The road goes on tomorrow and tonight this is exactly enough.

Culinarians Day

A day to honor professional cooks. In restaurant kitchens across America, this day passes without celebration because the cooks are working. They are always working. Restaurant kitchens are 100 degrees, the hours are brutal, the pay is low, and the profession is physically punishing. The fact that anyone chooses this career is a testament to the fact that feeding people is a calling.
