I have failed the 17-point plan the last couple of days. Yesterday I felt OK about it because the evening was devoted to a lovely get-together with Caz and Stef.

Heading off to Calgary today for a week.

to airport. late start (6:45 after dealing with some work for the new company that isn't paying me yet) so more traffic than i would like. but maybe early sunday morning is the only safe bet.

thought about how a kid i know doesn't try to figure out how to make somethibg happen bc he knows it's a lost cause.

More garden photos.

Kohlrabi:


Left to right in front: Horseradish, dill and jasmine.

You can see corn leaves in the bottom of that photo; we're going to try and grow some corn but I think the pollination will need some manual attention.

I need to decide whether to do the rogaine in July in NY, and if so who to con into doing it. I almost don't want to, because of all the other travel this summer.

To Middlesex Fells and back with Dave. Later, work commute.
