Gimmicks online--wow
I sent this to one of my movie buddies. I feel like I'm on the edge of techno-greatness.

Humor column published on blog
I write a 500-word humor column once in a while. One publication calls it Hallelujahs and Demurs.
Humor is touchy. As often as not someone who can cancel a paper subscription is not amused. Online it's free and they can just click it off.
Today EMU's Prof. Benner published a recent piece which I think is pretty funny. It is the first time I've gotten on a blog. Here's the link if you want to see it.

Final curtain for lambs
The lambs graduated Monday. Here Moe tries to climb the Smokehouse apple tree in the orchard. Is he telling me he's ready to move on
? They boarded a shiney aluminum cattle trailer behind a new Mack truck.
Now I have to muck out the shed, put away the fence extension, give away the sheep feed that was left, and spread out the hay.
As much as I anthropomorphized Meeney, Miney, and Moe, I should examine what I was projecting.
I notice that often I attributed to them negative motives--getting a cheap break on feed, looking for an easy escape, etc. It occurs to me that I was just using them for an easy laugh.
The exact opposite could have been the case. Baaing might be telling me not to feed them, that I gave them too much already and gave them a tummy ache. Constant pushing at the fence might have been hints to tighten up security.
Anyway, they were good guys. I got a lot from them. Apologies to anyone who was disturbed by their baaing. They deserve a new, happy chapter in their lives.

Rotten apple new pate de foie gras
Try to keep your lunch down. But on their excursions to the pasture extension, the sheep go straight for the rotten apples.
They don't eat the rot. They eat beside the rot and thus get the ripest part of the apple. The best is right before it goes bad. Don't try to apply that to any metaphysical situations.
If you haven't ordered any pate de foie gras recently, it's goose liver butter in the same way that we use butter in apple butter. The French, who make snails into flights of culinary ecstasy, also make goose liver into a very pricey dip.
I can't remember if I ever had it.
