dad and me

Incredibly, for the first time since idontknowhen, I have more to blog about than I have time to blog. I think I'll save the menstruation post for later, and give you these two things:

First, take a look at the blooming of the rare Amorphophallus Titanum at the University of Connecticut. It's only about an hour away, and I was tempted to go see it, but the description of the "aroma" has kind of put me off.

Second, something cool happened today. There is a vintage auto show in town this weekend, and everyone who owns a cool old car is tooling around in it this week. As I was pulling away from the pasta shop, red pepper pesto in hand, a man pulled into the spot next to me, and I hit the brakes. He was driving a lovingly restored 1965 Barracuda, the Dadmobile of my youth. I stopped and chatted with him for a bit. He was pleased to show off the leather interior and the elegant engine. Then I called my dad and we reminisced about the old car and he told me about a picture of it that he still had.

I as in my email when I got home. Isn't it excellent?
