How do you talk to your kids about molestation? -- I had a long talk with Alex this morning, because of this video.

Are you a bargain shopper? -- I'm not. But I hate shopping, so it's rare that I shop anyway.

Are you okay with pulling your kids out of school? -- For us, it's a case-by-case kinda thing.

What a beautiful image to welcome you home.

That quote so reminds me of the movie Horton Hears a Who. A whole freakin' community on a weed. Imagine! I am going to buy myself some flowers Friday...temporarily low on cash, so I have to wait a few days!

Gorgeous. I love the orange tips at the ends of the leaves.

Beautiful it looks 3D as if I could reach out and touch it.

Does any one remember the Animaniacs and Yako's song about a great big universe? "We're just tiny little specks about the size of Micky Rooney." I've always been drawn to the closer image of things. Probably why I love doing all the microscopy work I do. The things that go on, just microscopically, are just absolutely amazing.

Seriously: I hope you keep your receipts and write off your flowers on your taxes!
