OPEN POST: Calling all Stags!

By

 


Hunters gathered in Dortmund, Germany this weekend for the national stag calling championship. They used specially made ox horns, triton snail shells, glass cylinders, and other other instruments to mimic the sound of a red deer in order to lure stags for hunting. The hunters were challenged to recreate three different deer sounds, while the judges listened with their eyes closed. The title went to Fabian Wenzel of Bavaria, who has now won for the fifth year in a row. Congratulations!

And let's be blunt, Helen was a dish. Which meant that every m...

D o you still brunch as much as you used to brunch? During COVID lockdown, many things came to a screeching halt, and once lockdown was lifted, they only half-heartedly resumed, one of them being Sunday brunch. This is only by my estimation, of course, but it's noticeable.  Friends of ours more often than not "don't have time this week" for a myriad of reasons, and when the hubs and I do go out to brunch, with ourselves or with others, we see more empty tables than we used to, and shorter lines at the "hot" restaurant of the moment. This is across all generations. 20 and 30-something friends of ours got out of the habit during COVID and now cite cost as a prime reason not to go any longer. But with the bar scene decimated, where are the youngins supposed to go to get their drink on? And flirt with the guy or gal at a nearby table and maybe get their number? Or leave with them for a little afternoon delight ? In many ways, it's a shame. My generation once...
