I guess we’re continuing with the theme

I was reading an article on Boston.com about a rather inspired prank pulled by the graduating class at a local high school when this link at the bottom of the article caught my eye.  It was one of those, “if you’re reading this article then you’ll like this one too!” type of things.

Chocolate what???

Ok, so I admit it.  Geoff and I watch a lot of Bones.  A lot.  But when this popped up in my inbox the other day even we were… confused.  Leave it to Fab.com to send me something like this and think that it is normal.  Normal for a serial killer, maybe.

More Brimfield posts… soon

We promise.  But until we can get them done, here’s this.

I’ve seen their other products before. This is the first one that actually made me laugh out loud.

This is from Etsy seller Long Winter Soap Co.  They’re apparently New England people and I totally appreciate their sense of humor.

Our little garden

For over 15 years, I have been a gardener.  Specifically, an heirloom gardener and an organic gardener.  Although I have always had at least a passing interest in gardening and farming because of my grandparents, I developed an intense interest in them after I started volunteering at Burritt Museum and Park (now known as Burritt on the Mountain) way back in 1995.  With some very good mentors (the curator and some experienced guides from the historic park) I quickly learned how to appreciate the older varieties of vegetables that would have been recognizable to someone living in the 19th century.   I also learned about herbs and their long history of cultivation.

I love being the fun uncle

Sometimes, it’s just what I need to make me feel good.   A few weeks ago Kelly and I hosted our nephews Will and Ben and niece Kate along with their mom, my sister Liz.   The kids all had a great time.  We ourselves had fun, too.  And then a couple of weeks after that we got a card from Liz that included a card from Kate.  Apparently she really liked her visit to the butterfly garden at the Museum of Science.

In lieu of content…

I bring you pictures.

No, not pictures of me or Geoff or the kids.  Pictures from the intertubes.  Pictures of animals that look like ours.  Why?  Because I’m tired and I have work to do and I just finished day three of New Job and my brain is full.  That’s why.

So enjoy, or something.

A belated post-PAX report

Although I was fairly swamped with work this past weekend, I somehow managed to take the time to go see PAX East, the huge gaming convention and general geekfest organized by Mike Krahulik and Jerry Holkins of Penny Arcade fame.  Kelly’s brother Matt came up from Philadelphia and joined Patricio and I as we indulged ourselves in a geek’s paradise – specifically, a gaming geek’s paradise.  So go no further if you have a low tolerance for that sort of thing.

Live Long and Prosper

This was sent to me by the always fabulous Amanda.  It was tweeted by the one and only Nichelle Nichols and was taken in the Oval Office on 2/29/12.  Yes, I’m going to make you click through to see it, it’s that good.
