Tuesday tids.

Because the first two movies we watched on Netflix were Centurion and The Black Death, they seemed to decide that we liked "violent British movies."

Heh.

I had also checked out about five minutes of Hard Days Night, to listen to some tunes, so I don't know how that fit in.

The last two movies we watched were "Hot Tub Time-Machine" and "Secretariat."

Let them try to figure that out.

When I was helping my son Todd weed his garden, he mentioned that he was more interested in the "architecture" of the garden than the plants. Which is the exact phrase I always use.

An article in the Bulletin today mentions a Master Gardener who know the names of every plant.

I think my Mom was a blend of both; eventually, the plants became part of the architecture.

I don't usually comment on political columns, but I think "Obama's Original Sin," by Frank Rich in The New York Magazine is right on. The subtitle says it pretty well:

"The President's failure to demand a reckoning from the moneyed interests who brought the economy down has cursed his first term..."

Don't get me wrong, I won't vote for any Republican I can see on the horizon -- but I really wish he had taken the bull by the horns.
