So I was feeling a bit stressed out, and decided to have a Mike's Hard Cranberry Lemonade. It's my drink of choice, not that I drink often, because it usually disrupts my sleep. But I was just in the mood to have it. E was intrigued by the bottle, kept looking at it and saying "bus" (for reasons known only to him).

I'm unveiling my mystery trip: Memphis! Should be fun. I think it will be campy and fun to see Graceland. I'm also looking forward to seeing the Mississippi River again and maybe taking a boat ride down it. I saw it years ago, in St. Louis. I would love to swim in it, though of course I won't.

My next random U.S. trip will probably be South Dakota. I've wanted to see Mount Rushmore ever since I saw North by Northwest.

Where do you want to go?

Someday. I'm a little afraid to take the wee one on a 12-hour flight. Though it does look like paradise.

My mom went through SD when she was driving up here. I think she said that there were definitely some really scenic parts.

I want to go to Canada. I spent 3 years living about 4 hours from the border, and I never went.

Have fun in Memphis! I think Tennessee is beautiful.

Vegetable personalities

At the risk that you'll all think I'm nuts...but heck. I was getting cauliflower ready for dinner and it occurred to me that vegetables have different personalities. In my mind, anyway. Zucchini: the most agreeable of vegetables. It blends in with everyone, but it's never obsequious or false to itself. Sweet potatoes: the grandmother of vegetables. Very cozy and welcoming. Cauliflower: kind of bland, devoid of personality, but it could surprise you sometimes. Like a dull guy who occasionally tells a funny joke at the water cooler. Broccoli: feisty. Like a terrier. Spinach: kind of dour, but a loyal friend. Kale: has a fierce sense of individuality, but like spinach, is a loyal friend. Kale's affections last for life. Corn: this one is kind of a party animal. Corn is still drinking beer and making a mess when you'd like to be closing up. Tomatoes: a little sloppy. The kind of vegetable that needs to be reminded to tuck its shirt into its pants. Cabbage: not invited t...

happy birthday e!

[Posted by Bearette's husband until she has Internet access] e was born today! 8 pounds even, a cute and healthy baby boy. He likes to stick out his tongue just a little, and move his mouth around. The hospital gave him a little white hat with a purple pom pom. Bearette is tired but happy. Pictures soon.

Eventful

A lot has happened today already. I went to meet D for lunch and along the way I spotted a Boston terrier -- one blue eye, one brown. I stooped to pat it and then I heard an ear-bruising screech!! Everyone's head whipped around. Even the dog jumped. A taxi had squealed to a halt and there was a delivery boy on its hood. Somebody yelled, "Call an ambulance!" The boy seemed fine, even hopping on his bike to finish his deliveries -- but everyone persuaded him to stay. I took out my cell phone but another woman was already giving details to 911. After the woman finished the call, I was satisfied that help was on its way, so I continued. There were a bunch of rubberneckers/supporters gathered around the boy, so he wasn't alone. The dog stayed too. I was shaken by this, of course, but then something amusing happened. A few blocks later, I knelt down to pat a beagle tied outside a coffee shop, and it let loose with this big mournful howl: AROOOO. Everyone smiled, including a...
