I know, I know, that title has been used to death. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. What a great movie. Okay, it’s my turn. But this time, the subject is salt. My doctor told me that I had to cut back on salt. I told him, “Okay,” but frankly, it isn’t easy. That’s because I love that salty taste.

When I was about 10, I wrote a letter to my aunt, who lived in Oklahoma. I’d never written a letter to anyone before.For a kid in Ashdown, Arkansas, Oklahoma might as well have been China.I just knew that I didn’t see her or my uncle much, and I told my grandmother I missed them.
