Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

Cool, Tuc Watkins is going to make his coming out official in a segment taped for Monday's Marie Osmond talk show. More interestingly, he revealed that he's a single father. That reassures me that if a famous guy that charming and handsome, with all the available guys in the LA area, hasn't settled down, maybe it's not so bad to be single. (Of course I'm also thinking "OPEN SEASON ON TUC WATKINS!)

We did yardwork too! I am on a one-woman campaign to eliminate horehound.

I am trying to beat back the lemon balm.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

So a hotel question again:

When you stay in a hotel for more than 1 day, how often do you allow housekeeping to clean your room? Does it make a difference if you are staying in the room by yourself or with another person?

I allow them to every day, but generally hang my towel(s) on the shower rod for re-use if it's just a 2 or 3 day stay.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I have a pot on the patio in which lemon balm and oxalis are battling it out. Should be interesting.

Groceries=bought! And I found the charger for my jumpstarter, so I can do that tonight. Sadly, the Ace hardware by the grocery store is no more and I will have to go to Home Depot at some point for plumbing supplies, once I decide how much plumbing I have to do before I can turn on the swamp cooler (it'll work as it is now, it just drips a lot both at the faucet and overflows at the reservoir)

I'm sorry about Jeeves, Anne.

Good luck with the horehound and lemon balm, gardeners. I don't know from hore hound, but lemon balm is tough.

I went on a farm tour with amyth and a couple of other friends. We got to feed baby goats! Totally worth rambling around in intermittent showers. I also bought a couple of duck eggs, which I'd never had before. I poached one for dinner and served it on sour dough toast and lightly steamed spinach. It was delicious.

Anne, the renovation is lovely! It's a very beachy room.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

baby goats!!!!

If anyone has not watched the PBS documentary on the Central Park Five, I highly recommend it. There are only three days left, because it is Ken Burns (although it is not very Ken Burns-y, probably because his daughter wrote it) I have just been reading "Our Boys" [link] which is a look at how and why white suburban "jocks" were protected after they gang raped a mentally challenged girl. What a contrast!
