I am really digging our food this summer...literally... The community garden project we started is bursting with fresh salad greens: arugula, lettuce, chard and some other varieties I have no clue of (we were donated a bunch of random seeds for the garden).

Happy Holidays! Christmas break started last Friday and since my wife is a teacher she got a few gifts from her students. Over the years there have been many interesting gifts such as: school inspired ornament set, pewter apple paper weight, ABC lapel pin and lotion.

Except of course the coveted gift cards to Jamba Juice and Starbucks (attention all students - trading A's for gift cards).
