It’s possible this was written as a rap.

Whatever it is, I found it folded up and drifting around my kitchen, as I find many odd bits of flotsam and jetsam in this house.

I read it out loud, and found myself giggling. I particularly enjoyed the garbeldy-gook at the end. The Maker is ineffable, buoyant, inexplicable. Oh, and he likes pie; don’t try to convince him otherwise.

Here’s the translation, as it’s hard to read in the photo:

Hi, my name is Seth and I like pie, So you can’t

deny it so just stop trying to make me not like pie

because it is impossible for me to not like pie

cause pie is my life

I located further evidence of the claim in the driveway. In case there were any doubt.

French Breakfast Radishes and Haiku

I couldn’t resist these pink and white gems in the grocery. They’re French Breakfast Radishes, which I hear are easy to grow because they tolerate the heat well and stay sweet and tender even in adverse growing situations.

This is my genetic material at work. When I was in college I highlighted about one-third of each of my textbooks, even if they were already highlighted by the generations of students who had the book before me. The Husband, on the other hand, comes from the Minimalist School of Bookmarking/Highlighting. If the book was [...]

The Maker is on a roll. Clearly the train theme from earlier in the week is still running, but today he’s responding to the three-day deluge with humor and creativity. Umbrellas keep you dry from the rain Just like if your riding a trian, Umbrellas keep you from the sun, When your having so much [...]

One Moment of Glory

I got home at 10:30 pm and my bottom lip was swollen and dark, my shoulders aching just a little. The tide of fear ran high in me again Friday night and I had to put my thoughts on lockdown in order to make it to ringtime. Just one more small step up this ice-covered [...]

The Clarity You Gain After a Close Call

When I hear the thunder I call his name. I hear something bumping in the garage; the rain comes in sheets. Opening the front door, I see him in the yard, carefully arranging white metal folding chairs behind a pitching net. Is it raining? What are you doing? I call. I’m doing this, he replies. [...]
