Me (Erik)

“Gambrinous with griffonage?” Gambrinous is an obscure word meaning “being full of beer.” Illegible handwriting is known as “griffonage.” My handwriting has always been horrible, and much more so when I am drunk. Neither of which has anything to do with why I blog. Actually, the alcohol might have something to do with that…. I do this because I thought I would share the wanderings on which my mind takes me. And because I feel like torturing others.

… but what is “normal”?

The Husbear and I wandered over to Oklahoma City this weekend. He mainly wanted to go for “fun”. I managed to talk him to taking a break from said “fun” and head over to Myriad Botanical Gardens and Crystal Bridge Tropical Conservatory. We had been there four years ago with some friends (who moved away and that we miss dearly!) and I wanted to go back and see it again.

There were some gorgeous plants on display from several different climatic zones.

This one looks like a bunch of cocks with extremely decorative cock rings:

And then there was this surprising find:

I won’t bore you with all 147 pictures here, but if you want to take a look, you are more than welcome to over at my flickr set.

Now the Husbear wants to build our own “Tropical Conservatory”… *sigh*. I guess I’ll add that to the next giant project list I’ll get wrangled into “assisting” with.

Until next time…

Most of the time, that’s all I want…

The Husbear wants to head over to Oklahoma City this weekend. So we are.

We’ll be staying at the Habana Inn for the first time. It’s similar to but slightly less than the same thing as The Parliament House in Orlando.

I’ll try to make the best of it.

Until next time…
Erik
