Every time I go to Super Fresh I have this fantasy of buying funny-named vegetables and taking them through the self-checkout. I don't know about your grocery store, but my grocery store announces your produce as you pass it through

I'm doing well, thanks. We had a nice Christmas up in Canada, even if Philip got pneumonia and had to be taken to a walk-in clinic (my children only get diseased when they leave our health-care coverage area). Santa brought a doll-house for Philipa and a train set for Philip. Grandma and Grandpa got them some safari animals and a safari shelter, and we've been playing animal rescue ever since. Animal rescue involves hiding the animals around the living room (badly mind you) and then having Philipa go look for them while Philip triumphantly finds them and holds them up. Even though he is two years younger, he is a far better player of hide-and-seek than she is. After our first couple of games he took to hiding spontaneously. He scared the crap out of me one day by sneaking off to our bed room and silently waiting for us to find him...for 5 minutes!

Anyway, I scoped out the fantasy today, and I'm sad to say that Super Fresh does not appear to stock nearly enough 'exotic' vegetables to play the game out. Still, you're welcome to come visit or do something with me regardless.

And the van part, well, with all the vegetables how can one not think of Smoove B?

Good lord, as if it's not scary enough when kids get sick! At least your folks might know the doctors in the area.

Philip sounds dangerous, a kid with that kind of patience. Wow!

It's too bad they don't sell Aciphex over the counter. Maybe they will someday.

It wasn't so bad, we went to a walk-in clinic where they're used to uninsured people, gave them $40 and left with a prescription.

Philip is losing his patience as he enters the terrible twos. I wonder what the neighbors think as he screams bloody murder over 'no cookie' or some such indignity.
