My Garden and Synchronized Swimming on Girls’ Weekend

Girls’ Weekend 2014 #4 just ended, and we recorded a video to address the three things that we’ve discussed for over a decade:

  1. What to say when people ask, “What do you do on Girls’ Weekend?”
  2. How are we going to get on the Ellen show?
  3. Synchronized swimming

Here’s a link to our video.

I’ve been thinking about it all morning, and I’ve concluded that, when properly performed, synchronized swimming trains you in the way that you should live your life. This is especially true for the flag-hand maneuver. Perfectly executed, you feel the love you have for your fellow swim-dancers, as you joyfully raise your hand. Then fling that love out into the universe and watch it fly with the biggest, goofiest, Martin-Short-like grin you can possibly make. It’s a difficult move to master, and I think we need a little more practice. Other than that, and our need for more orange life vests, The PhanC Platter Sisters nailed it.

Well, that’s the only story I’m telling about Girls’ Weekend this year. Here are some pretty pictures of my garden taken at the end of August.

You might have noticed that one lonely silver sage (Salvia argentia) in the last picture. I planted several seedlings this spring, and he’s the sole survivor. I’m going to move him to this group, and try again next spring.

A personal note to Ellen: If you’d like to know a little more about the PhanC Platter Sisters before you invite us on the show, this post introduces us.

My favorite picture from that post is the one I use on my business card.
