Wednesday, October 5, 2011 at 11:00AM The National Parks Service has set a residency reading date: Wednesday, October 12, 10:00 AM at the Royal Palm Visitor Center. It'll be followed by a ranger-guided nature walk along the spectacular Anhinga Trail.
UPDATE: To answer a question posed below in the Tasting Room... no, the walk will not be guided by our old, dear Blonde Champagne friend, Ranger Doom of Cherry Blossom Bloomin' Time fame. Alas. But if you experience the sudden need to quell the impulse to touch, break, pull at, breathe on, or look directly at the Everglades, I got your back.
UPDATE to the UPDATE: The broken Ranger Doom link is whole once more.
So swim in if you have to.
...Or fly.

That post is HYSTERICAL. I didn't know you used to live in DC, Tink!
My favorite parts:
"Ranger Doom seemed physically incapable of walking past a tree, any tree, without pointing out what was wrong with it. "See this trunk?" he'd say. "Dutch Elm disease. This tree will never get as big as the older ones. I wouldn't be surprised if it topples over and crushes a chipmunk and two baby robins tomorrow."
"The only thing which cheered Ranger Doom was a big ol' discussion of tree porn. "The trees have sex," he announced to the four and seven-year-olds in the audience, launching into an embarrassingly graphic discussion of self-pollination, and I wanted to leave the trees in peace with their Spread Twigs magazines and their Barry White."
LMFAO!
Ranger Doom/Ellis '12!!!!!!!!!!
I don't get to be at the top of the ticket?
"I don't get to be at the top of the ticket?"
Well, seeing as you're Constitutionally ineligible to run since you're too young, MB... no.
woot, video listing and episode guide on the new tab!
Mary Beth, I enjoyed that link to your earlier post. It wasn't written too long ago and it was very funny but it seems like you're writing differently now. I like both ways but it seems like your style now is better for the posts about the Band.
That alligator looks pissed.
Then again, most alligators look pissed.
