Oh, The Pirate's Life For Me / Oh, La Vida De Los Piratas

LAST NIGHT, THE entire apartment filled with the fragrance of our African Spear plant (sansevieria cylindrica) in full bloom (11 flower stems) on the terrace. I love the fragrance. San Geraldo does not. On the other hand, San Geraldo loves the fragrance of Paperwhite Narcissus. And that makes me gag.

ANOCHE, TODO EL apartamento se llenó con la fragancia de nuestra planta, la Lanza Africana (sansevieria cilindrica) en plena floración (11 tallos de flores) en la terraza. Amo la fragancia, San Geraldo no. Por otro lado, San Geraldo ama la fragancia de Paperwhite Narcissus. Y eso me hace vomitar.

      I find it fascinating how sense of smell and taste can differ so much. Flavors I can't tolerate, Jerry loves (and vice versa)

  7. Role playing, really? Aren't you supposed to be taking it easy still? Obviously, your eye isn't working so well. You mistakenly put a diaper on your head! It says booty, as plain as day, across the front! Seriously, you are a cutie, me hearty!

      Yeah, that grimace was more than I really should have done. I found the "diaper" image on the web when searching for pirate stuff. The entire thing read "Surrender your booty".

  8. The Invisalign is a nice touch for the Pirate ;)

    Keep up the good work, relaxing, and not taxing, that eye.

      I was going to caption the photo "CAP'N INVISALIGN" but I thought I might then have to explain it. I'm to do less and less each day. Can't stand it but am really appreciating the importance of "positioning."

      Ha. Did you notice the Invisalign braces on that set of choppers? Fortunate to have strong teeth and now even straighter.

      Delete
    2. Oh yeah, I guess I do see the braces now that you mention them. "Invisalign" is a good name for them.

      This may be the last of it... although I haven't shared any Captain Hook videos. "We're dirty buccaneers and each a murderous crook."
