yes, I'll give their agent your number. He should be able to nail down licensing fees and royalty arrangements within about 3 months.

best,

EO.

erico, can we get a video of Lauren and Payton singing the Garden Song? That way we can sing along too and make sure we get the same beat. We can even "practice" together one night online if you have time.

Adorable.

Here's my weekend:

I'm home and have a big part of my lawn mowed.

That's an excellent idea. Would someone like to head the committee to notify Veronica that Relho is working again?

ps. I knew Eric was going to say that.

define 'working'.

just a thought, but does anyone want to tell Veronica that Relho is working again?

shish-kabob! Mmmmm. Thanks for a good lunch Mom!

Agrobacterium tumefaciens is pretty amazing, actually. Once scientists learned how it worked, they used it to genetically transform many dicot plants. The bacteria inserts a chunk of its DNA into the plant's cells. So it's really the plant's own cells that are proliferating (with the foreign DNA in it).

TAOD: And in English that means.
Actually I found it on Wikipedia. I didn't realize that fungus and bacteria could cause galls. I just knew about the insects and mites causing them.

No, Vercingetorix was a crowned Gaul. You mean crown gall.

Crown gaul caused by Agrobacterium tumefaciens.

Tracy, any idea what would cause that giant gaul looking thing on the tree in photos 18 and 19? The tree is dead, I'm assuming this did it in, but what is it?

Invenergy Plans To Build Wind Farm In Illinois.

The AP (5/15) reports, "A Chicago company plans to build a $400 million-plus wind farm that would stretch across two eastern Illinois counties." Invenergy LLC announced that "it has deals with property owners to erect up to 133 wind turbines on 28,000 acres in Champaign and Vermilion counties." The AP notes, "Building, if permitted, would start by the summer of 2010 and the wind farm could be running by the end of that year."

It is so light and airy.....I'm thinking I'll make myself one too because June in Indiana could be hot and sticky.

Whoohoow. Everyone gets new dresses!

Finished Sandy's dress for Rita' wedding! Sew-easy!

I hope not! We would all die if Frankie didn't bathe for even one day (just ask Nathaniel and Merel).

I think Roman challenges himself to that everytime I see him.

I challenge Roman to that every time I visit him.

I do hope they read the "try not to bathe for a week" challenge...
I'm sure Tracy and Frank will appreciate that!

Interesting trip to Pittsburgh yesterday -- left Spokane shortly after 6 a.m., arrived in Pittsburgh shortly after 8 p.m. Even with a three hours time change that's a long trip. The good news is I can now manage a free flight somewhere else!

Snowed here yesterday.
That would be the pirate book that Frankie and Sandy are reading.

Mom is at our place again after a day of travel.

we'll be getting that tonight. Thank you ao for sending it our way.

Brrr. It hailed again.

Thanks for all the wishes everyone. Spent the day down in Beverly Hills. Had a nice lamb dinner with a couple glasses of red wine to make up for it.

stay classy, relho

pics/vids from the weekend

Great pictures RSO. We needed you in Spokane down at Riverside Park yesterday. There were some great scenic shots. My batteries had died already, don't know how the rest made out. I'll get my pictures up later this week.

Nathaniel, Happy Birthday!!
