Been planting tulips, daffodils and crocus all week long. More to come next week.

A cold morning to start my 44th birthday. Big year this year as I will become a father at age 44. I spent 42 years as a son let's hope I can spend a good lick as a dad.

T'is the summer of tomatoes. I am putting the finishing touches on a late night gazpacho. This is about the fifth batch in the past two months. So delicious and tangy.

There's nothing quite like roasted tomatoes, eggplant and garlic. Yum.

So excited that my vegetable seeds have taken hold and are sprouting like mad. As usual, the arugula is first and strongest. Radishes are coming a close second. can't wait for spinach. Although I didn't plant it from seed, the rhubarb is nearly ready to be harvested. Ditto the chives and oregano that overwintered nicely.

This may sound corny, but every time my wife and I have sex it feels new and exciting. And I think, wow we should do this more often.

I couldn't get warm today. The apartment was chilly. My hands and ass cheeks were like popsicles. So only recourse was to plunge into a hot bath. Ah sweet relief.

Am taking a break from making beet chips to look at some naked ladies.

Every few months I try to grow my beard into a point a la Thelonious Monk but I never have the patience to go the distance. The beard starts to get a little bushy and I look more like a lumberjack. Then out come the clippers and I take it all back down to the start.

I can't tell you how much I love an arugula salad with cherry tomatoes and parmesan cheese and a drizzle of olive oil.
