Wow, flea's mom. Wow.

I ran a 5K today, and sadly was just about as slow as I ever was. I was hoping I'd do better, since I've been running more! But no. And now my calves are SOOOOOORE. But I got 9600 steps in before breakfast?

Our nice birdfeeder was stolen from where it was hanging at the end of our parking pad. sad. Of course, the birds don't really need feeding this time of year.

I should be cleaning the bathrooms and/or sorting out my clothing for fall/winter to spring/summer switch but I rode 75 miles yesterday and the warm laptop feels so nice on my knees that I can't really motivate and get off the couch to do anything.

I'd like to fall down, but I've got to go swim now.

basil in cooking. It's a tomato enhancer, IME,

vaguely Thai stir fry. For example: pieces of chicken, pork, beef, small shrimp, marinated tofu or what combination you prefer with veggies such as green beans, water chesnuts, finely chopped celery, pea pods, bean sprouts stir fried in a combination of soy sauce, lime juice, peanut butter (yes peanut butter) honey or cane sugar or corn syrup (but not brown sugar nor molasses) add cooked rice or cooked thin spaghetti or cooked rice noodles in last three to five minutes. Spices - garlic, sweet basil, red pepper flakes, black pepper, cilantor/coriander/cumin if you such spices please you.

If you can't eat red pepper - more black pepper will do.

Purty. That cat planter is so cute!

Okay, this is an awesome out of context statement.

a decade and a half of being a hard ass with gang bangers.

Also, it can be take a few different way...IJS.

Tonight we're going to see a house that's not yet listed - we found out about it from a friend of a friend, and it turned out the owner's late husband taught a class mr. flea took in college. We've driven by the house (excellent location; possibly small yard) and I know the square footage and room breakdown and that's all; we also have no idea what she's thinking of asking as a price. I am not sure whether to be excited or frightened? Mostly I wish I had not just drunk a cider, but I'll be sober again in an hour, when our appointment is.

the house 2 doors down from me is for sale. Again, I humbly propose the beginnings of a b.org compound/neighborhood.

The house is a 3/2, so 2 single b.orgers or a family could take it.

HUMBLE SUGGESTION.

also spoiled by seeing 2 b.orgers this week. I miss having people I like nearby.

The commute for mr. flea from Texas would be a bitca, though.
