Penelope and Sid look like little Christmas trees with bright red bulbs. Yesterday afternoon... Just picked these this morning... There are still dozens yet to ripen on the plants. So far I have harvested eleven pounds of tomatoes. Not too shabby. I am so happy and excited that my...

A lot of men can't dance—either because they are uncoordinated or self-conscious. Or both. Some do dance but not very well. They are stiff and/or unoriginal. But hey, more power to them—at least they are out there trying. Then there are professional dancers who are highly skilled athletes. But...
Was just at my local market. Look at what I came across... That is right. Large tomatoes selling for 3 lbs for 99¢! I couldn't resist buying a bunch... All these for $1.37! Look at my small tomato perched on top. Going price for mine? Four dollars a pound...

I am a delusion buster. Whenever I can, I tear down illusions and pull apart delusions. Why? Because I am a rationalist—a natural skeptic. I think it is due to both genetics and environment. My mom is also pragmatic. She is my significant role model. As a parent, there is a fine line...
Waiting for my tomatoes to turn red is like watching paint dry—it seems to be taking forever. Sid has over thirty tomatoes. Penny has over forty. I can't even count them all. I've tried but I lose track. There are so many clustered together. But they are all green. Some are quite large. Looks...
Bad personality traits/characteristics: stupidity, ineptness, laziness, incompetence, unresourcefulness. Which traits stand out in this exchange between myself and a PoF guy? So, a few days ago, I receive this message from a guy who lives a few hours south of me—outside of Phoenix: Hi where...

Took these a few minutes ago. She has twenty-two tomatoes and dozens of blossoms. Eight of her tomatoes are the size of a small peach. Isn't she gorgeous. Taken yesterday after a rain shower: A little info on Penny: Phoenix Tomato Update 9/1: Penny now has...
People can change. I often hear and read others claim that people can't change: a zebra doesn't change its stripes; a leopard doesn't change its spots. This is false. I know. Because if even one person can change, it renders that statement invalid. I am that one person. Ten years ago I was...

Sid has produced his first tomato. Baby Sid—vine-ripened—was picked yesterday, August 22nd. Just got home from running all of my errands. Baby Sid looks delicious sitting on the counter: I think I will slice him in half: Now slice him into wedges and sprinkle him with a...
It is no secret that I hate dogs. I mean really hate them. I'd never purposely be cruel to a mild-mannered dog. But I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to be kind to one or make any effort to save one from, say, drowning. I honestly don't know anyone who likes them less. Would I watch my...
The album, World Peace is None of Your Business, is about human agency—particularly the structures which limit it. Human agency is the capacity for humans to make choices. In World Peace is None of Your Business, Morrissey describes numerous situations where agency is limited or influenced by...

Penelope and Siddhartha ~ Sid for short because he is... I have two tomato plants which I transplanted into containers to grow on my porch this past July. Very late in the season—a risk. It was an impulsive thing—to start a tomato garden this year. I was inspired by a new friend of mine...

This is what I think happened. Moz hires Steyn to be his bodyguard or security staff member. Moz requests that David Tseng be removed from the queue line at the Santa Ana gig as he has imposed a lifelong ban on David attending his concerts. In his classic hyperbolic style, Morrissey and/or...

I have been listening to World Peace is None of Your Business on repeat for the last three hours. It is a wonderful album. At least as brilliant as You Are the Quarry. The standout tracks for me are Staircase at the University, Art-Hounds, and Kiss Me a Lot. I also love Istanbul, The...
Humid Sunny days despite Yesterday's weather Bare thighs spite by Sticking to the pleather Pink lemonade sipped Through stripey straws All beef dogs topped With Grandma's slaw End Makes his way home Examines his merits Broken and alone Emptiness cries out Staring in the...
