I have had two purdy ones recently, but even the second one is getting droopy now.
My planters are pretty small.

I bought some InnoVasian Crispy Honey Chicken a few weeks ago. It was pretty good, and I might consider it again in the.future. But it didn't knock my socks off.

My tall sunflower is still blooming. The other one is folding in on itself. I have a couple of others trying to make it, but I doubt they'll survive my trip to Montana. They would be best served if I could water them any day. How...

I have cycled all of my life. But over the past couple of years, I've gotten lazy about cycling. However, I have gotten more into swimming. I just realized that my "spare tires" are down a bit. I work early at Guitar Center today....

I am having pizza (hot) with my morning coffee right now.
While heating up the pizza, I did a bit of internet surfing and stumbled on a clip from a recent South Park episode.
I won't post a link, as I think American humor is...
