Catching Up

Comment [4]
I started my new job today. This was immediately (and I do mean immediately — maybe even simultaneously) preceded by turning in a draft of my thesis. Phew. It’s been a crazy couple of weeks.

There really is a summer this year. It’s finally been warmer and I’ve gotten the obligatory first sunburn. (Say what you will about skin cancer – my self esteem is way higher when I am wearing a nice summer bronze.)...

Q: What do strawberries, scup, pasta, and Cornish Rock chicks have in common?
A: They are all recent players in my “getting to know your food” trials.
I picked close to 15 pounds of strawberries the weekend that Tony Andrews Farm opened. It’s roughly 3 minutes from home and the plants were loaded with beautiful, brilliant red berries. I picked and picked and picked until my knees and thighs said “no more!” But then I picked...

How Does Your Garden Grow
9 May, 11:22 PM
I come from farming people. Just a generation or so away were people who grew food for a living, and in between there are a slew of folks that grow food for personal and family sustenance. As a child I hated gardening chores – weeding, harvesting, “putting up.” My parents have always had large gardens, and my father tends the vegetables while my mother grows flowers. I was never excited about helping them, but now...

Sunday was one of those “first days” of Spring. The calendar said it was Spring a couple weeks ago, but you know the days I mean. The sun finally brings some warmth. Layers are stripped off, beverages involving ice are served, dogs pant, crocuses bloom. People throw open drapes, windows, doors, their arms. It’s glorious.

Comment [5]
There are lots of amazing coffee table and photo/art books out there. But I don’t think I’ve ever come across one that I’ve wanted so bad! At the crux of science and art you find books like this:

Happy Inauguration Day!
20 January, 01:30 PM
Just in case you’ve forgotten what we’re getting rid of (how could you?), here’s a tip of the iceberg reminder. Don’t let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya, Dubya! (love you, Randi).

I’m really getting in the spirit over here. I had big plans to go to school and sit in the windowless cubicleville, but this...Filed under News and tagged with bush, hope, inauguration, media, news, obama, photos, politics, youtube.
