blessed are the gourdmakers

Blessed are the gourdmakers, for they shall bring brightly-coloured fruit
to your dinner party for fabulous autumn centerpieces.
Isiah 5: 26-29

Here's a pic from last weekend's trip to the Atlantic coast.

Catching up on some web work and resumes today. I got an interesting job lead about a richly-funded foundation in DC whose goal is to restore the urban forestscape in the city. Lord knows after living on the gingko-fruit coated Swann street I have some perspective and suggestions.

Last night was an unsuccessful foray to seek out BHI 3-5 at the Shirtless Men Drink Free night at the Lantern. I was having a nice chat with Jeff (BHI: 4), who remembered me from months ago when I worked there. We were talking it up the best we could in the crowd, when Miss Tina Twink appears and interposes herself between me and Mr. BHI4. I waited patiently for Miss Tina to defer back to the previous conversation, but alas she did not. Jittering and dancing all the while, she aggressively dominated the conversation for quite some time. Grrr...Miss Tina Twink is on the fast track to a quick trip down the stairwell some day.

Jason would like to voluntarily reduce his BHI quotient and donate .5 to 1.5 of his BHI to willing recipients.

Several hundred "protesters" were arrested today in downtown DC. No doubt they are going to scream oppression and bloody murder. However, it's not impossible to get your own license to hold a parade or protest, which they didn't do. Blocking traffic is also a crime, for good reason. Better to stage oppression and be able to brag about how you got arrested during your autumn vacation in DC.

Jimbo,

Your writing, pictures, and stories are in my top 10, no, top 5, of the blogs I read. So, thank you. The picture you just posted taken at the beach is very nice, and I wanted to say how handsome you are. I was surprised that you didn't bag your BHI 3.5-5.0 during your hunt last night: What, are those guys blind? Wanted to cheer you up a bit while being honest. Good luck on the job search.

Thanks Carl, now we're never going to deflate his ego. ;) But you are correct, Jimbo is one hot guy that has his shit together. He will make some lucky guy very happy.

Now, I will gladly volunteer my services in reducing Jason's BHI.

I think I can safely say I'm a 4.5-5 BHI. I really wasn't going to bring it up but it seems the thing to talk about around here lately. I used to hate being hairy, but I'm begining to like it now for whatever reason...

Oh, and that is a rather dapper beach pic.
