The weather in the Boro was just perfect yesterday. Clear and 79 degrees: just right for cooking on the grill. We tossed the Frisbee, and the boys and their friend (and, apparently new housemate, since he's stayed over here about fifteen of the last twenty nights), Trenton, and neighbor Traci's son Zack, invented and played a version of baseball using the desiccated remains of the old Christmas tree at left as their bat. 
Fire looks good. 
Mmmmm. Burgers.

Thank you for that. I am no longer Jonesing for a burger. Not that they looked bad, I just don't think I could eat that much.... un-lean meat and stay out of the hospital (or at least the bathroom for like a day!)
Good fun though!
Looks like December in Florida to me...Enjoy!
(BTW: Andy: are you still a veggie?)
More for me, Ange. Now, why is it I can't seem to drop any lbs?
Star, I remember FLA Decembers very well. You go from wearing shorts and a short-sleeve shirt, to shorts and a short-sleeve shirt and, sometimes for about twenty minutes in the morning, a sweater.
Like Tommy Chong (of Cheech and Chong) said when asked how his latest trip to rehab was going, "Let me put it this way, I'm a vegitarian, but sometimes I still eat meat!"
Now I think Tommy was talking about more than food, but let me assure you I am only talking about food when I say, "I'm a vegitarian, but sometimes I still eat meat." (not often though, I swear.)
She's a vegetarian? She don't eat meat, but....
I forget that you're from the south and you actually talk like that. You sound different in my head (when I read you're words).
(and I want a burger)
or your words
I used to hate my voice. When I was a kid, I thought I sounded like Lucy from the Peanuts cartoons. Now? No point in getting worked up about it (and, the burgers really were good, John. I'd mail you one, but we ate them all).
...and that clip has me a bit more nasally than normal...
You know what I'm going to say, right?
It's not good to eat animals?
If you answered Kate's question correctly, I wonder if Kate feels the same way about people who are actually starving?
I'd bet Kate would be fine with starving people eating anything they can. 'Course, I clearly don't have that as an excuse. I've read Kate's reasons for vegetarianism, and they are good ones. They include environmental, humanitarian and health benefits. I'd even add that you can make an argument that in Genesis, "pre-fallen" man was told to eat plants, and only after the flood was man told to chew on his fellow feeling beings. Mahatma Gandhi's autobiography includes the struggle he had with vegetarianism (doctors recommended meat stock when he was ill, and a friend of his argued that India couldn't kick out the British unless they were strong like the meat-eating British). All that said, I really like meat, and it's much easier and more convenient to be a meat-eater than not. One day, I may try vegetarianism. I think it's probably better and better for you. One day.
