Failing Up
Life is improvisation! Observations from a regular guy on how with world around us impacts who we are and what we perceive. I explore how life is more about asking questions than accepting what is presented. In addition to my own reflections and experiences, I interview guests from the art, literary, music, cultural and political fields to gain insight as to how we all impact the world we share and our joint realities.
We are all failing up!

Ketchup the Vegetable

In 1981 due to cutbacks in the school lunch program, then President Ronald Reagan attempted to have ketchup declared a vegetable. Well, congress went crazy and said no way. Now, for the purpose of replacing vegetables on school lunches I agree with the decision of congress at the time, however I do think ketchup is truly America's vegetable. We put ketchup on everything, eggs, hamburgers, hotdogs, fries, meatloaf, burned food to make it taste good, food we don't like. Hell, if you were starving you could put it on a sneaker! It comes in bottles, plastic containers, little plastic pouches, and you can pump out into a little cup. Ketchup as American as mustered!
