Way down on the list of things I miss is Sunday mornings with the The Washington Post. Which is not to say I don’t miss it a lot, it is just that there are lots of things I miss more. Notwithstanding its biased news coverage and left leaning editorial slant, you often find some damn fine feature writing within its pages. Among the writers on staff I most enjoy is Gene Weingarten. Always writing with wit and style, he is quite often both funny and poignant. It was my pleasure to come across this most excellent profile of a fascinating man known as The Great Zucchini.
Do yourself a favor and have a read. You’ll be glad you did.

Wonderfully sad story. It is such a shame he never sought professional help or his Mom never got it for him. I too had somethinmg that haunted my life that I couldn’t remember for over thirty years.Once I remembered part of it, I started a journy I am still taking.It is hard but every day gives me back control of my own life.

Yep - if they didn’t have some good I think they would have gone bellie-up long ago.
