Locust bean gum

As you know I feel terrible -- that stomach flu thing or food poisoning Grant and I got. So I got up this morning and Mrs. Cohn Zohn and I drove to Alameda to pick up the broken chair at the caning shop so there will be enough chairs Xmas [...]

Where is Lowell?

I am in the press room at the federal courthouse in San Francisco for the Barry Bonds sentencing. It will take place in about 75 minutes (11:00 a.m.) and I expect he will get probation with house arrest for a few months. I don't expect the home-run kind to do [...]

Lowell on Facebook part 2

So Grant got me a Facebook account. He said I really don't have to go on Facebook to get comments on the Zohn or to answer comments. I went on anyway, out of curiosity. And there were hundreds of names of people I'm supposed to know. Who are those people? [...]

Lowell on Facebook

Grant just created a Facebook account for me. The New York Times has set things up so that readers need to sign onto Facebook to leave comments on the Cohn Zohn. I don't know the reason for this, but I just work here. I know many of you won't want [...]

Blog change

As of today, the Santa Rosa Press Democrat put my blog, the Cohn Zohn, on a newer, more powerful platform, for which I thank the PD. Before I proceed please remember I am a technological moron, so I may not explain this correctly. I noticed no new comments were coming [...]

Lowell on Comcast

On Over-Tipping

I am an over-tipper. Are you? When I'm at a restaurant, I always start at 20 percent. If I like the server, I often give more. Same goes in taxis or wherever. I am not sure why I am an over-tipper, but here are some theories. I am generous. True. [...]

Lowell in Baltimore

I flew into Baltimore just now on the same plane with Maiocco, Purdy and Mindi Bach. You should have seen four tired people slouching off the plane. We each got up around 5 a.m. Maybe that's not early for you but it's a killer for me. Matt and Mindi have [...]

On coming home

Forgive me for this personal note but this past weekend Grant accompanied me to the Niners-Redskins game, the first time he's gone on a road trip -- and he did it with me. I think he did good work at the game, but you can judge that for yourself. I [...]

On being 66

Today I am 66. My birthday is All Saints' Day and that has a nice feel to it. I never have been 66 before and it seems like a big number. But here's the curious thing. I don't experience myself as 66. Sure, when I see me on television I [...]
