July Hibernation

I'm glad you posted a foodie note MLCMan.
I make Bruschetta on occasion, and concur with much of what you have to say about the quality of tomato used. I like to add red onion to my topping.

On the base preparation I have a variation for you.
Try lightly toasting some sectioned french bread on a griddle. Take a clove of garlic, slice it open and press the bulb until garlic 'weeps' from the cut. With a sharp knife make several slashes in the toasted bread then rub in the weeping garlic. It's amazing how much zing you can get into your bruschetta this way.

On Marathon Man, it's Hoffman's regular runs around the park that enable him to escape on foot during the chase scene, and which lead him to come to know the pump station featured in the climactic scene (its been a while since I saw the movie I'm afraid). This is a rather literal explanation of the title and I agree it seems a peripheral reference given the central premise, but it's still a great watch for all that.

Is it safe?
I hate dentists.
