“Bobby Watson & Curtis Lundy – ??Beatitudes??”:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000014NK/qid=1137383984 – Great jazz combo. I bought this album for the hauntingly beautiful minor jazz waltz “Orange Blossom” and was pleasantly surprised to find that all the other songs are good, too.
In other news, scientists in Taiwan have managed to engineer a neon green porker. Supposedly this is beneficial to stem-cell research. My guess, on the other hand, is that someone lost a bet: “You’re on, but if I win, you have to turn a pig flourescent green and publish the results worldwide.” So much for “the other white meat.” Also check out what the scientist says at the end of the article: “There are partially fluorescent green pigs elsewhere, but ours are the only ones in the world that are green from inside out.” Essentially, “My pig is greener than your pig.” What is science coming to?

Props to Lisa: “That would be a good shade for an Easter ham.” [approximate quote, of course] This started me thinking… the real advance here is not in stem-cell research. My friends, _we are alive to experience an historic moment._ We now have the ability to produce real Green Eggs and Ham. The legacy of Dr. Seuss lives on.

I will not eat green eggs and ham, I will not eat them, Jared I am. I will not eat them in a house, I will not eat them with a mouse. I will not eat them in my bed, I will not put them in my head……
So this has nothing to do with pigs, although I raise them from time to time over my short lifespan. Actually I was writing to inform the T that his RSS links are coming back to me as “invalid.” I currently found that though I do not use Mozilla’s Thunderbird for my e-mail it is a useful free (keyword) News and Blog RSS/XML host/manager. Anyway I have NPR working and Chigaco Board of Trade but your links are not jiving. Additionally, both of those websites’ subscription links have either xml or rss in the link address. I don’t know if that has anything to do with what is going on. After all this ridicule in disguise I must say that your live bookmark is working spledidly in Firefox. :) love you bro. good to talk to you tonight.
J-ruh: Your beautiful poetry speaks to me. Perhaps this blog will become known as the place where Jared got his start…
B: I’ll check into why Thunderbird doesn’t like my feeds, but in the mean time, I would encourage you to check out Sharpreader, which is considered one of the best free aggregators out there. Plus, it’s “Tristan’s blog tested and approved.” I don’t know why they aren’t bragging about receiving that accolade. Some people are so ungrateful. :)
