Batching it for a few days...

Well, the old lady is off to her seminar, so the parenting of two girls, a dog, and a Zed is up to me for a few days. Somehow, having the freedom to watch "Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle" isn't nearly as much fun as having ginger_rose around. *sigh* I think the worst thing about being surrounded by women all the time is the "missing them when they're gone" part.

Just before the monsoon last night, Zed & I got Thelonius (my cacao tree) into the ground. He looks happy, and that Sri Lankan pest hasn't come back. He's putting out some huge, tender leaves. They look a little like fragile tobacco leaves, about the length and width of a legal-size envelope. Maybe I'll finally get the bananas in the ground next week.

Seconds before the monsoon, crowitch and spawn came over to talk LAN parties and Orchestra camp. This gave my beloved blender a chance to chew on some rum-laced bananas, but I got too excited about my new lime-squeezer (I can hear you laughing, ladybarnard) and over-did the lime juice. A banana daiquiri shouldn't taste like lime... Regardless, I think a good time was had by all.

So tonight, it's laundry & gaming - I think a player needs to die tonight. >:-) If only Larry was done painting my big dragon...
