D-Day Friday Garden

First, to the WW II vets - thank you.

The garden:

Panorama one...

...panorama two.

seeds have started to sprout here.  Quince stick has an actual leaf!

Garlic and onions abound.

Onions, tomatoes and sprouts.

Kitchen bed with new additions.

Blackberry with blooms.

Death by capsaiciin - a Ghost Pepper.

Two new Oregano plants. That should be enough!

An Early Girl tomato.

Went to three places, and no one had any Rosemary.  Nor have I seen the Big Mama tomato, thus the Early Girl.  I'll keep looking...

The Past Catching Up!!

Last week, I got a 'ping' on LinkedIn from the only summer intern I ever had working for me.  The last time I ever heard from her was early in 1991, shortly after contestant #3 and I were married.  She called just as the wife and I walked in the door from work.  Here's what I told my her friend in an e-mail:

"That last phone call you made one Friday evening damned near put a crashing halt to marriage #3.  We both worked (in)  Huntington Beach, me on Space Station, she on CAD Support & Training.  After you and I had been chatting for a while, I realized that her usual pattern of going back to the bedroom to change, and then coming out to start dinner hadn't obtained.  After we hung up. I went back to see what was what.  The first words out of her mouth were something to the effect of "Is this how it;s going to be... you talking on the phone to your girlfriend while I (do whatever she said she was doing)?"

 

We'd been married only a few months.  I'd known her for about six or seven years.  So I thought.

The phrase "I'm screwed!" came to mind, as I recall.  That particular marriage lasted about five years.  It probably would only have been three, but I was reprieved to Detroit for two of those five."

I rambled on for a bit longer. closing out the e-mail with a line about "...life here in a small town that has no Starbucks."

And thus, the new tag for this blog was born.

Audit The IRS - 6/19 (Updated and Bumped)

More here!

I'd love to go, but the cost of gas is, shall we say, prohibitive.  I'm looking for someone in the York/Lancaster, PA area who would like to drive and split the cost of gas.  (I'll drive and split the cost if you prefer.)

Leave a comment if you're interested.

Thanks!

Update:  I've been put in touch with a group that is arranging buses to the rally.  The pick up sites are relatively close to the York PA area (Westminster, MD, Owings Mills, MD, and near Towson and Bel-Air as well.)
