From the garden:

To no one's surprise, Willie Nelson wins Texas Monthly's "Celebrity Texans" bracket. And, in previous rounds, with very few exceptions, the Texan who should have advanced, did. A Final 4 of Willie, Nolan Ryan, Kelly Clarkson, and Matthew McConaughey is just about right.

Happy Easter!

Jesus, my brother,  
Jesus, my maker,  
Today, you paid my bills.   
What can I do, but fall on my face,  
And thank you for your grace?  
Jesus, my Lord.

My favorite Brooklynite.

My dad, cousin, and sister, circa 1990. (I’m guessing). I love this pic. Nice sweater(?), sis!
