My new mantra.

"I dwell in possibility."

I particularly like these daylilies.

But bunnies have demolished my hollyhocks. I've coated the entire area with red pepper flakes as a deterrent. Limited success.

Currently reading: "The Shia Revival: How Conflicts within Islam Will Shape the Future," by Vali Nasr ('bout time, huh, William?)

Currently listening: "A-Ma-Zone," Zap Mama

Oops. I did it again.

(The Richard Thompson version)

Last night's post burst forth in a fit of righteous indignation and misplaced belligerence.

If you know me, you know I have political opinions. It's not simply my right but my duty as a citizen.

However, for personal reasons, it's currently not smart for me to share them in a forum that could be perceived as public.

So if you're looking for political commentary here, you've come to the wrong place.

For now, anyway.

I'm still looking for all y'alls summer soundtracks, though, so feel free to share them here.

And New Jersey, I'm still curious about you! Present yourself!

Summer soundtrack.

I have a handful of discs that I drag out every year ... they just say "summer" to me:

A-Ma-Zone, Zap Mama (funky/hot/laid-back)
The Baja Sessions, Chris Isaack (beachy/sexy)
LoveSneakDarkAction, Tom-Tom Club (sunny/happy)
Wild Planet, B-52's (funny/fun/nostalgic)

What's your summer soundtrack?

The suspense is killing me.

Who the hell do I know in Bedminster, N.J.? Or, at least who in Bedminster knows me? I'm dying to know ...
