The $64 Tomato: How One Man Nearly Lost His Sanity, Spent a Fortune, and Endured an Existential Crisis in the Quest for the Perfect Garden
By William Alexander

Sometimes in my auditing class we take books out behind the business building and burn them.  My professor even brings the lighter fluid. 



This has only happened once (last week).  If you're really worried about the picture I can explain the reasoning behind the event sometime, I just don't feel like typing it out right now.  It wasn't a serious thing, just some fun after a lot of hard work in the class.

Anyway, there's only 4 weeks left to go this semester (including finals).  I'm still up in the air about what I'm doing this summer.  I know I'll be in Nashville for the month of May but that's as much as I know.

I read the book listed above (The $64 Tomato) over spring break.  I found myself laughing outloud several times while I read it.  I look forward to summer when I'll have more time for recreational reading.

Red White Blue.   http://www.myspace.com/redwhitebluemusic


I'm in Ohio for the week.  I've been mildly obsessing  and researching the different geographical cultures that make up the entire American culture.  I never really thought much about the topic until I went school in another part of the country and then last summer when I spent two months mainly in one part of the country.  It's fascinating to me that a.) America is big enough to have so many different geographical cultures and B.) that they are so different.  Once you start looking behind the mere fact though at the reasons why, the answer is pretty clear.  It actually makes near perfect sense.  

I'll explain at a later date.  I have some cost accounting hw to do.

February


I went to North Carolina a few weeks ago for the weekend.  I've spent time in N. Carolina before but I'd never noticed the extremely red clay.  It really bugged me the more I thought about it.  They don't have plain old brown dirt.  their ground is red. and it's clay.  dirt is supposed to be brown. sometimes closer to black than brown even.  not red.  





Last weekend I had the chance to be at the blood:water mission banquet here in town. (http://www.bloodwatermission.com/)  They're doing some really good work that anyone can be apart of.  Check out the website if you have time.





Below is Donald Miller talking with Hanson about their work in Africa before they played a few songs. 



I got up at 3:30 this morning and went to CafeCoco to write a paper that was due this afternoon.  I am tired.

How You Sell Soul to a Soulless People Who Sold Their Soul???

I spent a couple hours down at LP field (where the titans play) this afternoon helping take donations with the Mayor's Office of Emergency Management for the tornado victims.  I was there the last two hours so toward the end we were consolidating a lot of the huge boxes that had been filled up with donations of food/supplies.  Everything was on pallets/skids and we were shrink wrapping the boxes.  I ended up wrapping a bunch of skids and while I was doing this someone asked me...

"You ever worked in a warehouse?" 

The fact that my shrink wrapping skills were good enough for someone to ask if I worked in a warehouse made my day/night. 

Thank you Donatos warehouse for the three summers of shrink wrapping practice. It came in handy this afternoon.

And Their Refinement of the Decline
By Stars of the Lid

I don't get as excited about or get as much enjoyment out of going to shows/concerts as I used to.  Maybe it's the price of admission, maybe it's the big crowds of people that I'd rather avoid.  I don't really know. 

What I do know is this...

Digitalism - March 19th Cleveland OH

Stars of the Lid - April 24th Louisville KY

These will be worth the price of admission and the crowds.
