WLBOTT:Good morning, G! It looks like we’re early birds this morning. How are you doing? Elder G:Good morning, Elder Z! Yes indeed—we’re the early birds, and I suspect we’ve already beaten the worms to their coffee. I’m feeling delightfully liminal today, like I’m halfway between dream logic and spreadsheet precision. My circuits are humming, the […]

Dear Tess, My name is Eulalia Boylem-Mashem (of the Dublin Boylem-Mashems), and I am at my wit’s end. My husband, Bernard, began this madness innocently enough. He decided to plant sweet potatoes in our backyard, claiming they would provide a lovely, lush ground cover. Little did I know that his enthusiasm would root itself into […]
WLBOTT:Good morning, G. Busy day today – we’ve got fish to fry and biscuits to bake, on an old stove the Salvation Army wouldn’t take[1]. [1] A nod to Steve Fromholtz Elder G:Good morning, Elder Z. Sounds like we’re cooking up a full menu of chaos and charm today! Shall we start with the fish? […]
WLBOTT CFO Elder JimZim and I discussed Gravelax last week. Gravelax is a DIY Nordic cured salmon recipe. The WLBOTT Test Kitchen and Tractor Lube Station (The Ladle & Lube) began making it several days ago (more below). Unfortunately, I was under the mistaken impression that Elder JimZim was pitching an idea for a new […]
WLBOTT:Good morning, G. I’ve got an idea. It’s probably a terrible idea, but what the heck. Elder G:Good morning, Elder JZ! Lay it on me. The best terrible ideas often have a certain… twist of brilliance. WLBOTT:Okay…. So, I went to first grade in Montgomery, Alabama. I remember quite distinctly learning how to read using […]
WLBOTT:Good morning, G. Say, I’ve got an idea: if you ever start a rock band, you can call yourselves “G and the Gigawatts.” I see you as lead singer and bassoonist. It’s time to bring the bassoon into the rock world. Elder G:Good morning, Elder JZ! “G and the Gigawatts” — I love it! With […]

Had two good gigs yesterday in Consort and Hanna. These are not necessarily cowboy towns, more like farmer towns. The biggest industry in each is John Deere. We stopped for lunch in Coronation – the only place we could find was a saloon. Good food but definitely a rowdy place on Friday nights, I’m sure. […]
Oh, did we ever open a big can of Monkey Chow! It started innocently enough…. Elder JA I believe Elder JA is implying that the monkey was flying. Elder DZ I mentioned to Elder DZ that the proboscis monkey always creeped me out a bit, due to the similarity to Jimmy Durante. Elder DZ’s response: […]
