Let smoking Mafiosos be.
This video is dedicated to my 7 year-old nephew, Joe, founder of the hilarious game, "C'Mere, Get Lost," which is based on this story. Go ahead, ask him how to play.

New & Cold
Tuesday, February 3, 2009.
I walked home from work in a terrible snowstorm.
The heavy snowfall outlined old sights in new ways.
Here are some images I captured, between the train and my house.

Clogged Drain
This stupid joke based on a true story*.
A plummer arrived at the apartment of a beautiful young woman.
"Oh thank goodness you're here!" the woman said to the plummer. "The drain has a terrible clog."
After unpacking his gear and assessing the situation, the plummer declared, "You have the cleanest under-the-bathroom-sink I've ever seen."
The woman exclaimed, "I'll thank you to stop looking under my skirt and kindly return to the bathroom!"
*The plummer really did tell me that today. That's where the truth ends. And the terrible joke-telling begins!

Moon Garden, Moon Garden
I never would've thought that my strong urge to replant my pot of herbs yesterday was in perfect synch with ancient tradition of planting during a specific moon phase. However, upon further research (which started as the simple internet search "how to replant parsley without killing it"), I realized that my intuition to re-pot must've been motivated by gardeners of long-ago!
From MoonGrow.Com:
Gardening by using the signs in the heavens is an ancient tradition passed down the dim corridors of time from one generation of gardeners to another. It is not a mystical process but a means of timing the planting, growing, maintenance and harvesting of growing things to produce superior harvests. I and many other home gardeners have found moon phase and zodiac sign growing to be an effective means of increasing crop yields as well as a way to join with nature in a cooperative effort to grow plants in a more natural way.
LAST NIGHT'S CONDITIONS:
1) Waxing Moon
2) Zodiac Sign: Taurus
3) Taurus: Earth sign
4) Earth Signs: Sign of Fertility!

AFTER:
Tapping in my nocturnal green thumb made me wonder if planting-by-moon-cycle is covered in my favorite gardening book, 10,000 Garden Questions Answered by 15 Experts. While I fear this practice is too new-agey for this 1944 publication, I did find some handy illustrations for the at-home gardener (like don't forget your pipe when planting strawberries and learning the TRUTH about herb gardens.

Root Root Root
Mets lost 8-1 in a stinker against the Nationals, but the new stadium (built in the likeness of Ebbetts Field) is gorgeous and the weather held! Oddly, we couldn't find a single pennant, jersey, or plaque commemorating the Mets of yesteryear. It's like they've built this stadium (which a tiny portion of my tax dollars fueled, so I feel justified having an opinion on this) to make new memories, not celebrate the old ones. More like Debits Field*. Zing!
*I stole that from someone. I'm not sure it was worth it.
