i saw the first cicada, dammit
I made it through to the end of the week, getting my annual report (first draft, mind you) and the side web job done. It was a great relief. I totally deserved to chill on Saturday, so I did, and got in some time in the sun in our tiny backyard for a good half-hour or so. That's about all it took for my fishbelly white self to start burning. I hoofed back up to College Park to take some pictures at a work event, then back for some time at the Eagle with Mitzh, Chrisafer and a new friend. Got the opportunity to cross-pollinate my worlds by introducing one of the ruggurls to the DC blogging celebrities. A few cuties in the crowd, and it was good to catch up with the Mitzh, but I didn't stay long as I was pretty beat.
This morning My'ra picked me up and we tried a little fishing (beardless jimbo pic!) on the Potomac off the C&O Canal towpath. Due to so much rain, the water was high and murky, and we didn't get a bite. But it was good to be outside, and we saw a wood duck, jack-in-the-pulpit plant, and my first cicada! They are coming...

I have seen the little beetle like Nymphs popping out the past few days. Disgusting little things they are.

Jimbo, my yard is a cicada bonanza. Especially with my pesticide free woods. You'll have to come over for drinks when the buzzing is at its peak. Maybe we can concoct a cicada cocktail. Consider yourself "on call."

Hence why I have been given the mantle of "Dax the Cicada Slayer" by my brother.
My eyes are to Purty to be eaten :-)

Kurtie: We're gonna take a hot shirtles pic of me with cicadas crawling all over me. - Jimbo

I keep hearing about those things all over the news. Luckily, I don't think they'd ever survive hibernation down here as it doesn't stay cold very long in the winters.
BTW Jim, nice Clemson t-shirt. I'll have to make sure you have a nice Carolina one if I get up that way again. After all, our USC team has none other than the Gamecock for a mascot. Go Cocks!

jimbo my beeeeotch! my boss just called me to cancel my long anticipated biz trip to vancouver.
of course he is sending me to DC instead, so it's not a total loss.
i'll be there next week.
i don't think i'll have time for rugby, but i could be talked into some libations and general urban tomfoolery. or janefoolery in my case, but whatever. i'm easy.
