Happy birthday to me!

Google Ads are odd

Out of curiosity and naked greed, I added Google ads to the blog. For those of you who aren't familiar with them, they index your site and give you ads based on the content.

You can imagine my surprise when I saw the ad currently on here for "Controlling Psoriasis". If not for Google's wisdom, I would have had no idea that such ads were appropriate for this blog.

Which leads me to my next question: who is reading this? As a public service announcement, I suggest you get yourself some good ointment.

Long time, no post

Boy have I been lax in posting to my blog. Worry not, all is well. I'm just in a deep haze of sleep deprivation from MoralShortie's night time wakings.

Other than that, things are going pretty well. AirplaneGirl, Shortie and I are all settled in to our place in Palo Alto. While I do miss the city, I don't miss the reek of urine and the sirens. Instead, I have a balcony garden. We did have a pipe leak, but still no urine.

We're also both still employed, which is not to be taken for granted right now, I guess.

So, yes. All is well...

New cocktail

AirplaneGirl threw down the gauntlet when I mentioned I wanted to make a new cocktail. She suggested muddled green zebra tomato as a ingredient. Here's the best I could come up with:
Ingredients:

• 1 green zebra tomato
• 1 oz. vodka (I used celery-peppercorn from Modern Spirits)
• 1 oz. dry vermouth (I used Cinzano Bianco)
• a dash of sherry

Muddle the tomato, add ice, then the liquor. Mix.

I hope this is a poor translation.
