Our garden is half planted but fully plotted. Future D-I-L Chelsey has all hers planted...kids! So much energy. Here at Cobb manor, our indoor pot so far contains fava beans (no chianti, sorry), sorrel, jalapeños, pepperoncini, bunch onions, wormwood (planning on making absinthe because "Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder!"™), valerian, and baby's breath. Later today, after bread making, I'll plant the rest: mulberry, flax, rosemary,poblano, habañero, pomegranate trees (for indoors),...

My dear sis-in-law, Katya, will be getting married this summer! She's had a 4 year long relationship with a wonderful guy named Calvin. He's in IT and is also a talented piano player! Best part...he's a cool guy. She's Mrs. Cobb's younger sister. She (after instruction) shot the video of our wedding.

The distraction of one of the two greatest Lions seasons of my life has passed. What a glorious run they had, and what a tough ending to it. 'nuff said.

human again. It's Mrs. Cobb's birthday today, so I'll not be working much on anything but a wonderful meal for her tonight. She has her present already.

Tonight, rotini with meatballs and cheese, homemade garlic bread, and perhaps some oat bran muffins for dessert. I cook like an old Italian woman...lots and lots, and it's pretty darn good.

Either way, raise a toast to Mrs. Cobb with me tonight! Then, if you're so inclined, raise a toast with me Sunday and root...

I'll be down and out for a few days. I went to take the dogs out and got tangled in the leashes...G'Kar really is that fast...and as I tried to get free he tugged so hard my hefty frame was laid out on the driveway. Concussion, sprained knee, neck and back strain, and a Class A headache that's on its second day. Thank God for insurance, because the ER visit will cost a bunch even with it.
