Just when one of your interests (gardening) has you coming up smelling like a rose, you get wrapped up in something like this sardine calculation. There is definitely something fishy about such an obsession.
My son and I used to enjoy periodic visits to Long John Silver's back in the joint custody days. I'm sure it's a nice break from the institutional food you get at home -- but again with the fish??
You're going to have to start wearing a captain's hat and smoking one of those short pipes...
toot! .... toot!
Always enjoy your journal. I might even give Long John another try after that good commercial in the last entry. But I do like ardines!
