If the weather stays cool, I may tackle them tomorrow night. Finally, a reason to wear my old motorcycle jacket again!

there are a couple of trees in the neighborhood that bear what looks like blackberries. is that possible? from a tree, not a bush.

Mulberries? We had a ton on the elem. schoolyard and they were the scrouge of teachers (kids+berries=mess) and line-driers everywhere (grackled ate them, pooped purple poop on clean laundry and stained it.)

We were always told they weren't edible. I recall they were sour, so presumably they weren't fatal. Just icky.

Fast Company magazine has named Chicago "US City of the Year," with a great article written by Alex Kotlowitz (author of "There Are No Children Here" and "Never a City So Real").

Drat. That means they're probably going to end up in my neighborhood bar at some point.

When I was in Alaska staying on a lake in a remote cabin that we had to take a float plane to get to, my former best friend decided to try to eat the identified not-quite-blueberries. So of course lori joined her. Um. Hello? If either of them were destined to be poisoned they would have been screwed. But luckily the berries were edible.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That means they're probably going to end up in my neighborhood bar at some point.

I can't believe they aren't going to be in Williamsburg! But maybe it's full.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I can't believe they aren't going to be in Williamsburg!

Me neither!

They keep talking about doing it in Washington, but it keeps falling through, thank god.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Oh, crap. Ted Kennedy's doctors just announced he has a malignant brain tumor.

Even a "benign" brain tumor isn't always cause to rejoice, because sometimes its location makes it impossible to remove without causing significant damage. Which makes the moniker "benign" somewhat of a bad joke.

Still, what a goddamn pisser for Ted Kennedy.

Who but Buffistas could crack a friggin' Proust joke off the cuff like that?

I love us.
