Then Fitzgerald is the one you want to follow. Well, minus the alcoholism and chaotic personal life. It sounds a lot like science: there are lots of people attracted to the idea of being scientists, but few actually want to deal with the grubby, tedious business of doing science. Start writing, and then being a writer will follow.

I just read what you wrote about skydiving and you have no idea what you’re talking about. If you never jumped you cannot know what is the fundamental goal of the sport. “Not to die” is just the risk you take, and is not much bigger than driving a motorbike, but in any case is not the main goal. Every skydiver has its own goal, and for me is to fly through the sky using my body, being completaly free. So, if the sport is not intersting for you or if you’re too scared to do it, don’t do it, there’s nothing wrong with that, but don’t talk about what you don’t know.

It is in fact 32. Kudos for remembering the power law for calculating the number of subsets!

Mmm…hotdogs.

Thanks, Vicki. I love Costco dogs, as well…the best deal in town. Onions, ketchup, and relish is a good combo…it’s actually the combination of what my wife and I like.

I don’t run across a ketchup, mustard, and relish very often…good for you. You’re right, I’m surprised, as well, that mustard is the most popular.

“The National Hot Dog and Sausage Council is a project of the American Meat Institute”…awesome.

Hope your case is almost done…

Thanks, Apurva. You know, I hadn’t even thought about regional differences. I just assumed that ketchup was the most common topping. I do love a good Chicago-style dog. I had a great one at the HP Pavilion at a Sharks game.

I like the Costco hot dogs. Where else can you get that kind of value? It’s onions, ketchup and relish for me. I like tomatoes too, if they’re available. But if I do tomatoes, then forget the relish. I love hot dogs! Oh, with mac n cheese – that’s an old favorite. Looks like I’m going to have to hit Costco soon to get a fix for my new craving.

My toppings of choice: ketchup, plain mustard, and relish. I googled this topic, thinking that surely someone has done some kind of polling on this before. Apparently, at least as of 2005, the most common topping in the US is mustard, not ketchup. This is somewhat of a surprise to me since I love ketchup on so many food items, including hot dogs. But I guess push comes to shove, if I could only have one topping, I would choose mustard over ketchup. Hmm. Apparently there is a Hot Dog Council for all things hot dog related. Who knew?
