Fountain & Brewer: Super Bowl!

Posted on February 5, 2010 by Phil Fountain and Steve Brewer

Phil: Nothing like immersing oneself in the gaudy, All-American, around-the-clock hoopla that is Super Bowl Week. I mean, I GOTTA see the interview with the guy who wraps Dwight Freeney’s ankle. So, bottom line, who you got? Continue Reading →

Posted on December 7, 2009 by Phil Fountain and Steve Brewer

Phil: Well, Steve, it’s been a month or so since Halloween, that means we’re about seven months into “The Holidays,” as we so joyfully refer to them. Do you have your Christmas shopping done? If so, what did you get… Continue Reading →

Cutting Board #15

Posted on October 28, 2009 by Phil Fountain and Steve Brewer

Phil: Steve, you surprised me by admitting you watched a baseball game. You further revealed that you were actually caught up in the game’s inherent drama. Quite a confession from an NFL-addled ADD Super Steelers Fan. Steve: I admit I do dip… Continue Reading →

Phil: Bruce Springsteen turned 60 last Wednesday. Sixty. The Boss. The Big Six-Oh. For some reason, this little Yahoo News tidbit floored me. I’m old enough to remember buying Greetings From Asbury Park (Bruce and the E Street Band’s debut album)… Continue Reading →

Posted on August 20, 2009 by Phil Fountain and Steve Brewer

Cutting Board No. 11

Posted on August 6, 2009 by Phil Fountain and Steve Brewer

Phil:  The Cutting Board started as a masculine version of Doni and Kelly’s cyber-dialog The Dish. After reading last Friday’s installment of The Dish, I don’t know if either of us possesses the tact or sensitivity to take on a… Continue Reading →

Posted on July 15, 2009 by Phil Fountain and Steve Brewer

Phil: Steve, I see you have a new profile picture on your Facebook page. Wry grin, furrowed brow, cool shades. You look like a character from one of your books. That is, if you wrote books about assassins who drive… Continue Reading →

Posted on July 2, 2009 by Phil Fountain and Steve Brewer

Phil: I know you’re not much of a baseball fan (heretic! commie pinko rat!) but my favorite dreadlocked right-handed hitter is working himself back into playing shape from a 50-game suspension for violating baseball’s drug policy at the Dodgers’ Triple… Continue Reading →

  • Comment on For gardeners, the North State’s Dog Days are a real bitch by Steve Towers
    In reply to Doni Chamberlain. I once told the late Gary Matson that I hated some non-native plant we'd encountered during a day in the field—maybe Tree of Heaven, but I don't recall exactly. I do recall the curmudgeonly lecture my comment elicited. Gary said that all plants—even non-native weeds—were admirable in their own ways. […]
  • Comment on For gardeners, the North State’s Dog Days are a real bitch by Steve Towers
    I grew up where a hot summer day was 85°F. I've lived in Shastanistan for 25+ years, and I'll never acclimate to triple-digit heat or >250 AQI when there are nearby fires.
