"This is in my head"

Why he has never called in sick since 1960: Every evening is the soup. This is my medication.

What he eats for lunch: Only homemade eating. No restaurants. Everything from home. Today I have ham salad and cake. Cake has to be every day. I love cake. Cake every day. This I have to have. My wife makes the cake. If my wife don’t bake, then I bake. Soup and cake. This is my favorite. —"Experience Necessary," NYT
