Have you ever shot a rocket to the Moon? Impressed members of the Royal Shakespeare Company with your acting skills? Taken a photo you never thought you would regret? Neither has the author. "Don't Forget the Ketchup" is the latest collection of essays by Kevin McDonough, who explains in "Rocket Science" why his phony Fuel Theory in a university's Physics class failed to get his rocket "Impending Doom" to the lunar surface (Spoiler Alert: Gravity for one, and a complete lack of understanding how a rocket works). In "Line?" even with his inability to remember anything other than his own name and phone number he strutted onstage in bathrobe and slippers in front of Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen, performing a scene from King Lear. Enjoy these and other stories that remind us that behind every cloud is another cloud. But if you wait long enough, the sun will peek through.
