Since spring has sprung, I have been giving thought to the mini garden that is going to inhabit the deck on the back of my apartment this year.  What will I plant, how much travel will I have, and how much time am I going to have to tend to the container...

Briefly, I want to think Suburban for the opportunity to post on his blog. Onward… I’ve been thinking about “shortages”. What it really means to have a “shortage”.

It’s a fantastic evening here in NJ, with the exception of my allergies kicking up, which reminds me. Time to stock up a few seasons worth of Zyrtec or some other anti-hystimine.  As long as they as stored correctly, they should last for several years...
