So...the Green Line.

There was a green line crash yesterday, at Government Center. Note that is the train I take every single day, changing from the E to the D at Government Center, then back from the D to the E again in the afternoon.

Turns out the driver was text messaging his girlfriend when it happened. You can read about it here. Remember when I saw that green line driver on his cell phone for 10+ stops? This is what happens when they do that. They CRASH TRAINS.

All I can think about are two things -- what kind of liability policy they have, and what the per-event limits are.

And, I believe Bob actually did what I asked him to, in a rather creative and roundabout way, which at the time I thought was impossible. See anything here, Bob? I feel like I'm in an episode of Twin Peaks. I hope my hair turns white.

More Food -- Can You Ever Get Sick of Food?

Meg has inspired me, I have been cooking. Gasp!! You have all heard the saga about Mogwai's tummy issues. She is now on salmon, sweet potatoes, and eggs. The craziest part? I am making it all from scratch -- fresh organic ingredients, cooking them up, mashing them together. She loves the food, and her tummy has never been happier!

This is what it looks like. Not anywhere near as pretty as any of Meg's food, but it tastes good!



Note: I still have no pots or pans or silverware. Everything cooked here used none of the above! A microwave, a disposable cookie sheet, tin foil, plastic forks and knives, and my lone sauce pan...you know, the one I have been using to wash my hair in the bath, since my shower curtain broke. It is a multi-purpose sauce pan!

I let her lick the bowl, cause I'm a nice dog mom like that. But also, it is evidence that the food is awesome, and she just might be the happiest dog in the world.

(Don't show this to P Daddy -- he will never eat at my house!)



This is my made-up bean salad, inspired by Meg's fantastic Mexican bean salad we had a few weeks ago. It is green beans, black beans, and cannellini beans, mixed with a bit of reduced fat feta and Ken's super light basalmic vinaigrette. My absolute favorite current meal, and it is so good for me. I feel healthier just looking at it.



I have been bringing that to work, or this:



Like I said, my good doesn't always look good, but it tastes fantastic. Parboiled long grain brown rice, cut green beans, peas, carrots, eggs, fresh chicken breast, and taco seasoning. It sounds weird, but it makes sense in my mouth, and is amazingly good for you.

Here is Random Mogwai.



And here are Random Tulips. Boston is gorgeous right now, flowers everywhere, trees green, grass growing again, it is amazing to see the cycles of nature -- something we don't see in Texas.
