Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

How did you think they grew?

I just learned that avocadoes grow on trees. Everyone from California may now mock me.

HAH.

I ate a tangerine this morning that I picked off my own tree. It wasn't that ripe, but it was made sweeter by being picked 90 seconds before.

I just had my old sickly PITA plum tree cut down, so now I am trying to decide if I want to replace it with a lemon tree or an avocado tree or both.

We had an avocado tree in my back yard when I was 3 or 4. I remember playing "golf" with them and a putter from somewhere. One of my few memories from that age. I don't remember eating them, though.

Ohhhh...lemon trees are the bomb diggity. I think they are more manageable than an avocado tree.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Man, Judge Judy is possibly the best sitcom ever.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I need to plant my latest avocado sprout. Someday I hope to have fruit off of these things.

Lime trees are also nice, Lee. I'm trying to think of something I could trade you lemons for, though mine are not Meyers.

... and apparently it was "a tough afternoon" for my folks.

I feel so bad for my mom. She must be so terrified and unhappy, even though there's little reason to be.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

As an eater, not a grower, I was going to ask about lime and avocado!

I thought they were laid by the avocado birds.
