Hot Dog...! in Talk Story

Aloha…

And greetings from an overcast and foggy day here on the southern coast of Oregon…

Early this morning I was informed that the authorities found the plane that crashed into the ocean near my home on the 4th of July… one body was found… as well as assorted stuff out of the aircraft…

Oh… the entry title… well… I decided to fix myself a hot dog for dinner… a beef frank… with mustard… and relish… and onions… and melted cheddar cheese… (yes… it tasted as good as it sounds)…

But the reason for this entry… is to share with you dear reader… the memories this meal evokes…

Cooking in the kitchen with my daughters… the silliness and laughter as we prepared the hot dogs…

Going camping… sitting around the campfire cooking hot dogs on a long stick… though truth be told… as I remember the skin of the hot dog got pretty black from the fire… but they tasted wonderful (or else I was really hungry)…

Going to 49er or Raider football games and getting a hot dog (well… I suppose those might have been polish dogs)… and I am here to testify that nothing tastes better than one at a sporting event (well… maybe the beer with it helps)…

Anyway… my dinner tasted pretty good… but the memories were even better…

Me ke aloha…
