Life of Wry

:: Happy that it’s the end of another growing season. Funny, isn’t it? It’s so wonderful to have a robust crop of tomatoes, squash, eqgplant, basil, strawberries, chard, rosemary, chives, lemons, figs… AND it’s nice when the season’s over, too. Raising food can be oddly stressful.

This guy is likely my final garden face for the season. Everything’s looking a little long in the tooth. I was not aware that we’d planted parsnips.. but I do believe that’s what the nose is. What a .. surprise.

:: Also happy that tonight is the first night of the World Series (starts in 11 mins, so I gotta hurry here). Go Dodgers… unless they are crushing the Blue Jays, in which case we’ll have to become Toronto fans to even things out. Go Blue in Game #7. We’ll see how all this plays out.

:: Happy to be going to see Jeremy Allen White as Springsteen tonight (after the baseball game). I really like that guy. Eager to see him in a non-moody chef role.

:: Happy about the conversation — long overdue — that we had with Peter yesterday afternoon. Holy cow I love that guy.

:: Happy that I finally cleared out all my unread emails and have only 700+ emails in my inbox (champ!) and only 300+ tabs open in my Chrome browser (double champ!). Been a productive couple of days in that regard.

I had intended to list many more HAPPY things, and to accompany the happy list with a NOT HAPPY list, but I don’t want to miss the first pitch.
