So this little writing gig I scored? Has now turned into a column. And the Editor wans me to name it, but after four days at the beach, "Dude, Food." is about all I got right now.
Help me out.
I'm guessing your column has to do with food, but the only idea that comes to mind -- Regurgitations - won't fly. But I will tell you a story, possibly even true, about an unpublished author who asked a published one to help him pick a title for a book. Its about -- don't need to know, the other interrupted. Anything in there about drums? No, the unpublished one said. What about bugles - anything? No, the other said. Nothing about bugles. Then there you go, the published one replied. There's your title. NO DRUMS, NO BUGLES.
Hmmm??
