Life Sherpa to the rescue
Why carry emotional baggage? Joe Holleman answers guy related questions, everything from how to keep a straight face playing poker to how to break up with Angelina Jolie (and live to tell about it). No problem is too heavy for the Life Sherpa.

Life Sherpa: Here we are, Ladies and Gentlemen, with another edition of a Life Sherpa chat. I appear to be typing challenged today, possibly from banging my fists against the wall over yet another Chris Duncan moment.
Anyway, enough about my issues -- and you can read more about that whole mess on my blog, Yakkin' With the Sherpa -- at www.stltoday.com/sherpa.
Now, on the other things:

Steve: Joe,

A while ago you posted:
"Braunschweiger; Swiss cheese; thick slab of homegrown tomato; slice of raw white onion; yellow mustard."

But you didn't tell us what bread to put it on....
Life Sherpa: Well, that's because it really doesn't matter if you have all those other ingredients. Sourdough is always a good choice, a marble rye works, but I usually make do with some thicker white bread.
I'm no bread snob and I tend to view bread in the same manner as did one of history's greatest figures, the Earl of Sandwich. The bread is something that keeps my fingers from getting messy.

evie: Who dragged you into the blogosphere?
Life Sherpa: Well, I sort of dragged myself. I found that I often ran across short items that didn't warrant an entire column, but were funny/frustrating/stupid enough to deserve a Life Sherpa comment.
And, hey, as in so many aspects of life, it's a case of 'adapt or die." More people read them and as a writer, you're kind of dumb if you don't go where the readers go.

Life Sherpa: With the traffic being so light, we're going to shut the book on this chat. I've got some vacation coming in August, so we don't have a "next chat" date at this time.
But please continue to read my column in the Sunday comics section, and visiti my blog at www.stltoday.com/sherpa.
Ciao
