I went out to check on our little garden this morning, and it had a visitor.
The peppers are starting to bud. We should have flowers soon. Continue reading Garden update
Louisiana will not tolerate your science (fiction) research!
Louisiana will NOT allow and Manbearpigs or Pigbearmen or Bearpigmen or Pigmanbears to be created. Sorry to crush your dreams.
Human-animal hybrid ban sought at Louisiana session
BATON ROUGE — Legislation that would prohibit scientists in the state from creating human-animal hybrids for experimentation — believed to be the first such ban proposed in the nation — has been filed for debate at the lawmaking session that opens April 27.
Sen. Danny Martiny, R-Kenner, has filed Senate Bill 115 on behalf of the Louisiana Conference of Catholic Bishops.
Conference lobbyist Danny Loar said the bill is designed to be a “pre-emptive strike” against scientists who might want to mix “human and animal cells in a Petri dish for scientific research purposes. . . . It is becoming more of an issue globally.”
We should ban all time travel, teleportation, telekinesis, and resurrection research as well. These things are an abomination.
Every now and then, I get a nice reminder that the good people of Louisiana are, in fact, idiots. I should point out that this is just a proposed bill, and surely it will not pass.
TV Stars!
Once again, we are reminded of the strange fact that Chelsey agreed to marry Brent

Ham
I would just like it noted that Chelsey made a very tasty ham yesterday. First time. She is a natural. Her ham instincts are the stuff of legend.
Vegetables
It’s been awhile since I have grown anything. I seem to have been tied up with broken legs and home repairs. But this year I will have tomatoes and eggplants.
Here’s my little potted vegetable garden:
Sweet Peppers
Purple Striped Eggplant
Tomatoes
Hass Avocados
Rosa Bianca Eggplant
Stay tuned for more thrilling garden news. Next time: THEY GROW.
Happy birthday Jack!
It’s my dad’s birthday today. You all will be jealous because we are going to Hana tonight.
Love Songs and Despair
I’m looking for love songs that don’t have a hint of despair in them. No girlfriend in a coma, no one for my baby and one for the road. Just happy love songs.
I will start you off with:
1. Jersey Girl by Tom Waits (not Bruce Springsteen’s version)
Difficulty: no google searches on ‘happy love songs’ or the like.
Changes in Brent’s Breakfast Routine
For those of you keeping track, I am eating a whole new breakfast these days. I went from a banana to a bowl of cereal. Now I am throwing a grapefruit into the mix. Grapefruits are every hard to eat. I don’t know how long the second part will last, but I am officially entrenched in the cereal-for-breakfast ranks. Before about a month ago, I had not had a bowl of cereal in about 15 years. So you could say I’m going through some big changes. How am I doing it? I’m taking it day by day. That’s how. My only issue is how bad the milk container smells at the end of the day.
Just so everyone knows
My life is a total mess right now.
I have a job that I really enjoy, in the city that I love.
Unfortunately, my wife lives and work in a different city, one that is about 500 miles away. I also own a house that will not sell in said faraway city. This makes my nice job and lovely city irrelevant.
I feel like I should be enjoying getting what I have always wanted. Instead I am wondering if the price is too high.
This post is dedicated to Amber, who expects a lot from people.
