Over the past few weekends, all my fruit trees have arrived and been planted. The dwarf trees in the backyard are spaced 7 foot apart. The white dog got into my bed and dug up most of my pea seeds, but some of them are still coming up. Some of the heads of broccoli has been harvested, and the lettuce seedlings are starting to pop up through the earth now. The two new pawpaw trees are on the south side of the house.

Mensa Invitational
March 3rd, 2010
The Washington Post’s Mensa Invitational once again invited readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition.
Here are the winners:
1. Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period of time.
2. Ignoranus : A person who’s both stupid and an asshole.
3. Intaxicaton : Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.
4. Reintarnation : Coming back to life as a hillbilly.
5. Bozone ( n.): The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer, unfortunately, shows little sign of breaking down in the near future.
6. Foreploy : Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of getting laid.
7. Giraffiti : Vandalism spray-painted very, very high
8. Sarchasm : The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn’t get it.
9. Inoculatte : To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.
10. Osteopornosis : A degenerate disease. (This one got extra credit.)
11. Karmageddon : It’s like, when everybody is sending off all these really bad vibes, right? And then, like, the Earth explodes and it’s like, a serious bummer.

Pump It Up
February 28th, 2010We all went to Ft Worth to celebrate Carson’s 3rd birthday today at a cool place called Pump It Up. They had two rooms of big inflatable bounce houses and slides. Even though I was suffering the after-effects of drinking high-octane German beer the night before, I partook in the bounce-house fun too. We had a great time. Bryson said, “That was a FUN party!” when we left. He wanted to go straight to bed after his bath tonight, so I know he was worn out.
