View From the Bushes

A while ago I made the controversial decision to get a little TV and put it near my computer. To make reference to my previous blog entry one of the reasons I thought I might be ADD is that I really prefer to have everything going it at once. I feel very comfortable checking my e-mail, instant messaging someone, listening to some music, with the TV playing to my right and a book open on my lap. Maybe it's that I feel I'm not wasting any brain power. I'm not sure what it is, maybe it's the feeling of recreating at the same time that I'm working. In any case the point of telling you all of this was so that I could mention that I'm watching Iron Chef on the food network.

If you've never seen the Iron Chef I would highly recommend it. It's like combining Julia Child with Professional wrestling laid on a bed of wacky Japanese culture. Essentially you get two chefs with maybe a half a dozen assistants and they have one hour to put together as many dishes as they can which best express the them ingrediant. Tonight the theme ingredient was lamb or as people like to say, it was the "Lamb Battle!". I'm a pretty big fan of lamb and some of the dishes they had just looked salubrious (yes I know that word just means healthly but doesn't it sound like it should mean one step better than delicious?)

Anyway I spent most of the day working on the latest adventure. Though my sister had a baby yesterday so I had to take a break to go up to the hospital to visit her and the baby. This kid was born with enough hair to be a hip avant-gard artist with a pony-tail. Looking at him I got the feeling that rather than holding a baby who was less than 24 hours old I was looking at someone who was interviewing for a position as vice-president. He had a better head of "executive hair" then I do. In any case check back on Monday when we'll publish our latest adventure "Free Lunches" by Corey Reid.
