It seems that eventually spring has to, well, spring. And yet, in light of yesterday's beautiful weather, we end up with what we have today. And it's going to like 'this', until wednesday, at least.

Looking for something good to make tonight? How about Pad Thai. MMMmmm.

And dag-gummit, if I ever missed something I wish I could see. Tomorrow night in Fountain Square the National is playing for FREE! One of my newer favorite bands and I have things to do.

Here are some of the worst gifts for Christmas and I guess anytime you have a need for a decapitated teddy lamp, thanks to Esquire and my friend C. Trent Rosecrans.

AND, bravo to those who received awards for scientific research into some of the fundamental questions in our world.

This article is worth reading.

AND> AND, here are some Logos that have gone terribly wrong!
