Sometimes a thistle is just a thistle. Lower your expectations.; April 14, 2013 at 8:05 PM

If it gets to fifty this morning, my netbook and I will be ensconced on the front porch with a cup of coffee, thoroughly enjoying retirement.; April 15, 2013 at 10:43 AM

Not if you peel the stem and boil it for supper! Protip- tastes like their cousins, the artichokes.; April 15, 2013 at 2:25 PM

Time for a walk... :); April 21, 2013 at 3:05 PM
