  • Ironic Norwegian hipster names for children:  Ole and Lena.
    • If you don’t get it, ask a Scandinavian for an explanation.
  • Life is fickle.  One night you’re a mason jar 1/3 full of apple pie moonshine, the next night you’re packed full of tomatoes, onions, peppers, and lime juice and sitting in a hot water bath.
  • I succeeded in cutting up a couple dozen jalapeno peppers tonight and didn’t rub my eyes.  I’m proud.
  • Interestingly, the juice from the peppers that has soaked into the skin on my hands burns a bit, but it feels kind of nice.
    • The soreness in my fingers seems to be easing up a tad.
    • I can, however, pinpoint each and every teeny tiny cut and nick on my hands at the moment.
  • It is good that the props for the Halloween shindig at the zoo were supposed to look like they were painted by children, because that’s the best I can do.
    • Yeah, coloring inside the lines has always been a challenge.
  • Apparently Girlie Bear borrowed a pair of colorful suspenders to wear in her school pictures.  Luckily, the pose we bought didn’t feature them.
    • Seriously, Mork from Ork would have been proud to wear them.

    Many moons ago I harvested a nice crop of Cayenne peppers. Decided to process and can. Didn’t wear gloves and half way through the chore decided to heed the call of nature….took business in hand. Count with me…by the time I hit ten my scream of pain, I was later told, were heard three streets over. Talkin’ blisters here.

      I had a friend who had a similar experience after trying to get on the “Wall of Flame” at our local chicken wing joint. We stopped to pick something up at his house, and he hit the bathroom while he was there. We heard him scream from the driveway.

    You should have bought at least one print with the suspenders. In 20 years, it would still be a source of great mirth. But not only that, it could also be used for payback vs the future grandchildren.
