Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Joe Niekro, one of the best knuckleball pitchers of all time (though not as good as his brother Phil) taught a young neighbor how to throw the knuckler before he died.

That is awesome. (And I'm still annoyed about the time when I was in eleventh grade and we had to write a paper explaining the physics behind some everyday thing, and I wrote a great paper explaining how curve balls and knuckle balls work, and the teacher took points off for each place that I wrote "knuckle ball," because he said it should be hyphenated.)

After work today I went and bought a garden cart (smaller, plastic, slightly more stable version of a wheelbarrow) I moved three carts of dirt from big pile o dirt to garden bed. Transplanted some strawberries into pots and manage to split the ass in my pants.

I also sawed some boards to start making raised beds. I learned measuring twice before you cut is useless if you can't saw straight. Close enough for a little raised bed, I hope.

Tomorrow I hope to put boards together. Put first one in place and start filling with dirt.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Did you by any chance buy this cart? [link]

We have an actual wheelbarrow, but I use this almost all the time. It's really light and great for moving bags of soil or branch clippings or whatever.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

My sistah in the weeds. It's dry and dusty out here.

achoo. I'm starting to forget what a love life is like. Except for the misery. Haven't forgot that part.

Same here. Well, not so much misery as boredom. While I miss sex, I'm finding myself having an enjoyable life without an SO. So part of me is kinda reluctant to consider changing things.

Then I see a hottie jogging down the road or stand behind someone in the grocery store who smells really, really good. And that's when I go, "Oh, yeah. Dating. There was a reason I tried that."

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Calli, I could have just written that entire post. I so am Right There.

No, that looks awesome though! I just got a cheap one at Walmart.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I think I'll buy that cart! I don't have room to store a wheelbarrow, and that looks like just the right size to tuck into a corner of my patio.

I'm getting the pig!

What Dana said.

DH got to the oven first - to bake fish, which I didn't want - so I have to wait a little longer for dinner.
