pretty maids all in a row

my ipod was on shuffle last night as i exercised and hit upon a song i hadn't heard in a long time but is one of my favorites. 

i got to see the eagles hell freezes over tour in miami at the orange bowl in 1994.  wow i feel old all of a sudden.

The perfect garnish

Yesterday I went with my wife and her parents to a new restaurant for dinner. The restaurant specialized in Baltic cuisine, but the it didn't matter what you serve in opinion when you garnish it with meat. A meat garnish, simply awesome.

A growing experience

So a couple of months ago we planted a bunch of containers on our condo deck. It's our own city garden with herbs, vegetables and even a few fruits. I had bet my wife that at least 30% wouldn't make it because of the direct sun and just being in pots. I should know never to bet against my wife.

That can't be good.

I never use the front door at our house. It really only sees action at Halloween with trick-or-treaters and as a place for mailed packages to be left. I usually catch a glance of the front porch out one of the front room windows every couple of days to see if anythings been left there.

Well this morning I saw what can only be taken as a very bad sign at my door step. I looked out to find a dead bird laying on the porch. Ah today is going to be one of those days I think.

Unexpected X-ray

So I was finishing my business in the bathroom of the condo and saw what looked like an X-ray of a pair of lungs on the ceiling.



Apparently this is what light from a skylight reflecting off water in a toilet looks like. Human lungs. Interesting.

A second puppy

As the temperatures around here have been consistently above 90 degrees the past couple weeks, I decided to give my pooch a haircut to help him stay cool. No this is not the first haircut I've given him. I actually bought one of those old flo-bee haircutting systems which works great for his shih-tzu hair. I'm just wondering if I went a little too close this time as I was left enough hair for 2 or 3 more puppies. Ewwwwww.

i'm not a messy person...no really

as i started cleaning the house tonight i ran into a little problem in one area, my random art area.  i like to tinker and create and work on a bunch of things at the same time, but i'm not a messy person.  i am able to work in the chaos. it works for me, but you can be the judge.  and yes the rest of my house is in complete order, it's just this one little corner that seems to be an issue.
