Here it comes again

Hark rejoice! Tis the traditional birthday post!

"Last fall it was dry, oh my, oh my,
You could ask the smartweed; maybe the smartweed knows why.
And then Mr. Corn Borer, he brought his whole family,
And they laid the corn low when it got windy."

Realized just how different a side of myself I present to people out in St. Louis when during a discussion about the networking required to get ahead in plant science. Someone said, "It's harder for me, I'm not outgoing like you." To ME! But yeah.

"I been walking the beans, been walking the beans.
I been bending low, no, no,
I been ripping my jeans.
Been walking the beans in the burning sun,
And it looks like I ain't ever ever gonna get done."

Summer's been really good. I can't believe it's already more than half over. I'm already working sundays, and yesterday (monday) I stayed till 7:30 to get everything finished up. I'd really like to have my project finished and practically gift wrapped by the end of the summer. Whatever it takes...

"Pretty little girl in not too much just about two rows over,
When it's hotter than fire, I guess you don't need much cover.
Sure I would like to get closer, but ain't it just my luck,
You know I got such a crick in my back, I can't even stand up."

Which is really a shame, because it turns out that the new outgoing guy I appear to be this summer is the kind of guy who can actually benefit from the great male female ration in plant science.
