Tomorrow is Palm Sunday. The church where I sing is using eco-palms. These are apparently environmentally sustainable and fairly traded.

We just go outside and cut fronds off the trees. For free.

Get well, Vixmom and Jeanne!

I passed on the mashed potatoes.

What an insane concept.

Page four? Really?

Had an amazingly good dinner with friends at a new restaurant that specializes in cured meats and charcuterie. The owner is a cancer survivor, so he named the place Cured.

We had a bunch of small plates of things like sausage gumbo, fried chicken livers, fried oysters and corned beef tongue. Great flavors.

I made the mistake of ordering a pork cheek poutine with strands of pork meat and cheese curds mixed with fries and gravy. It tasted great but the size of the dish was big enough for the table.

And my friend Bonnie ordered the pork shank. It was 2 pounds of amazing pork meat with the best brussels sprouts and fried kale on the side. It was twice the size of the poutine.

So, there are leftovers.

All was wonderful except for one of the desserts. Do not deconstruct carrot cake. It was a mistake, big mistake.

Watching the beginning of Spike Lee's 25th Hour. I think this may be my favorite of his movies, outside of Crooklyn.

Forgot how good Philip Seymour Hoffman was in this.

Got notes from my first reader and spent part of the day reworking sections of the paper.

Now, my sister has turned in her notes, so that's another set to work on.

It seems like it will never end.

John G. · « **Reply #103 on:** April 12, 2014, 08:27:21 PM »

But I only have a few weeks to finish it and the project, which I didn't want to do today.

John G. · « **Reply #104 on:** April 12, 2014, 08:27:44 PM »

I even started my taxes instead of doing my project. Ugh.

Found out that my nephew won the Governor's Award for the Arts today for his French horn playing. It includes a three-week summer intensive as well as full tuition to a couple of colleges in Kentucky if he wants to go there.

So, what kind of posting frenzy is this?

John G. · « **Reply #107 on:** April 12, 2014, 08:34:26 PM »

Sing sing for Sing Sing
You sinners, sing, sing, sing.

Lift your local voices until the bars on the windows ring.

Jailbirds be nightingale birds until the locks are forced to spring.

Sing sing for Sing Sing,
You sinners, sing, sing, sing!

John G. · « **Reply #111 on:** April 12, 2014, 08:36:09 PM »

And that was our Cole Porter for the evening. "Sing Sing for Sing Sing."

John G. · « **Reply #112 on:** April 12, 2014, 08:37:16 PM »

Well, it's far from page five.

TCB · « **Reply #113 on:** April 12, 2014, 08:37:27 PM »

Goodness had nothin' to do with it.

John G. · « **Reply #114 on:** April 12, 2014, 08:37:36 PM »

But it's a post closer.

John G. · « **Reply #115 on:** April 12, 2014, 08:38:37 PM »

Yessir or no, sir.

TCB · « **Reply #116 on:** April 12, 2014, 08:39:15 PM »

Lovely song, John!

TCB · « **Reply #117 on:** April 12, 2014, 08:40:10 PM »

Yes. Sir!

TCB · « **Reply #118 on:** April 12, 2014, 08:40:56 PM »

We've got this covered.

John G. · « **Reply #119 on:** April 12, 2014, 08:40:59 PM »

Take it away, TCB.
