I'm just back from vacation, and I'm already pulling my hair out. And no, it's not even because of the endless Michael Jackson coverage.
It's about something a little closer to home. It's the ongoing war with rabbits happening in my yard. Right before I left on vacation, rabbits chewed through the plastic fence surrounding my vegetable garden. This is the same fence that I had used in other years, and this never happened before. It appears the critters are getting more violent. So I redid the fence, patched the hole, and created what I thought was an impenetrable fortress.
Not so much. Last night Mike and I went out to give the veggies some water, when I noticed that there were a bunch of rabbits surrounding the fence, holding what appeared to be some kind of vigil. (Maybe they thought that's where MJ's memorial was being held.)
Then I looked closer and saw another bunny INSIDE THE FENCE! You got it, another hole had been gnawed through the fence, and he was happily munching on my snap pea plants. I scared the rabbit out..eventually..after it ran around for a while before it remembered where the escape hatch was. Then I pulled out the rest of the peas and said screw it.
I don't know how well my pepper plants or tomatoes will fare. But I have a feeling that I'm going to be making quite a few trips to the farmers market later this summer.
The Broadway musical Wicked has flown back into town, thrilling fans at the Overture Center now through June 9th.
I got a chance to see the production for the 2nd time last night, and once again was blown away. Even though I saw Wicked in 2010, I had...
Today we traveled back to 1975 for a Rendezvous with The Hudson Brothers. This song didn't make it to high on the charts, but Kitty enjoyed it. Her favorite brother was Brett. She also loved their television show. We've included a skit from...
I'm not sure why Pete Yorn decided to name his new music project after a European cave dwelling aquatic salamander, but if he stops by to play us some songs in Studio M, we'll have to ask him.

Today's song was written by Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary. It was inspired by the 1957 novel Doctor Zhivago. No one was inspired by the song this morning. It was rejected by almost all the listeners.
Today is World Goth Day, a day to celebrate the post-punk, anti-establishment, dark clothes-wearing subculture.
I'm pretty sure I was a Goth for at least for little while, for two reasons.
1) I almost hardly ever wear pastels.
2) I used to...
Hello to all from Nfusion. Another round of challenges has moved beyond us all. Congrats to those of us lucky enough to have survived to this point. Sad to see the others eliminated as they were all very creative and talented. Good Bye to our new friends...
This morning it seemed like just about everyone was in the mood for some Funky Cold Medina...except Kitty. This ridiculous song made it all the way to number 3 in 1989. Jonathan says any song that references advertising dogs from the 80's has got...
