Sometimes a person needs to eat some gravy to make things right with the world.

From time to time, my favorite uncle and I have breakfast together, which almost always involves having biscuits and gravy and sometimes other food. We often go to the Cracker Barrel or to a grocery store a few blocks from his house that has a breakfast buffet.

This week we got an early start, and I was on the way to his home just as the sun was just coming up.

We went to the Food Giant where we could pick from a selection of biscuits, sausage patties, link sausages, bacon, scrambled eggs, hash brown potatoes, rice, grits, and, of course, gravy.

My uncle put lots of gravy on his food—hash browns, eggs, biscuits. I ordered sausage patties, eggs, and a biscuit covered with gravy.

We came up with some good solutions to many of the worlds problems. Our success makes me wonder if some of our politicians would get along better is they would sit down together and have breakfast that includes some biscuits and gravy. I’m just sayin’.
