My father quit school in the 10th grade to support his mother, but he spent the rest of his life reading widely, and attempting self-education. At some point, he fell in love with poetry, and wrote some himself. He had studied older poets, and wrote in a somewhat archaic style, which was quite out of fashion. Still, one of his poems has achieved immortality. Fifty years after it was written, and many years after my father's death, The Cold…

Death of a dearly beloved tomato plant
Posted by Chris on August 2, 2009 at 1:56pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
I loved that tomato plant. Over its way-too-short life, it yielded 3 fragrant, juicy, tangy cherry tomatoes. And for all it bestowed upon me, all I gave it was the TLC normally reserved for a beloved pet: watering, fertilizing, picking off those pesky caterpillars and dispatching them to the gates of Hades. Alas, despite its brave attempts to flourish in the direct assault of the withering rays from the unusually scorching blowtorch that is this summer's Texas sun, it finally succumbed last… Continue

The organic farming revolution...
"People will tell you the organic farming revolution that's taking place is about food safety or ecolgical concerns, but I think if you dig down deep, you'll find that the revolution is really about what people are missing in their lives: good food and a connection to the land, both of which puts us in touch with basic spiritual values."
