McCoy: A hot fudge pain reliever

I overheard something funny as I was munching on a sweet snack last month. I didn't catch much of the conversation, but I did hear, "I need hot fudge." I thought it was hilarious. The more timid among us say, "Could I please have some hot fudge?" Others might say, "I'd like hot fudge on that." But someone who states an emphatic "need" for hot fudge clearly knows the power of prescription-strength chocolate. Hot fudge ... Read More

McCoy: Nature’s Carpenters

McCoy: High Fashion and High Treason

McCoy: Kindergarten cookies

Let your mind wander back to Kindergarten, and think about those simpler times and all the fun you had. It doesn't matter where you come from, you have to admit that Kindergarten was fun. You played with toys, sang songs, colored pictures of firetrucks, and learned radically new concepts like sharing and the letter Q. Until Kindergarten, did you even know there were letters, much less one known as Q? Probably not. For most of ... » Read More
