Wow, it's late, I'm tired, and the 5:30 AM alarm goes off so very, very soon! (I doubt I'll be able to resist turning it off and sleeping in... *sigh*)

Nevertheless, I thought I'd write a tad here. (Besides, I'm waiting for a remote server whose OS kernel was upgraded to reboot as I write this, so I've gotta be up a little longer anyway.)

My natural inclination towards avoiding manual labor like cooking must be on the fritz. I rather enjoyed cooking for my brother Kendall and my friend Jason this evening. It was easy and quick, slicing up some yellow summer squash, zucchini, and a small yellow onion into a frying pan with some olive oil, while freshly husked ears of corn steamed in another pan, and some cheap cuts of beef sizzled in the George Foreman grill. It only took 30 minutes total, most of that prep. time.

The clean-up, however, I'm putting off until morning. There, the slothful side of me is now sated. *grin*

It all makes me look forward to harvesting from my own small garden. If it produces. I am new to this gardening thing, after all, even though my parents made me pull weeds in tomato patches, pick green beans, and other such things as a youth.
