The HMS Ocean deployed for a 7-week deployment exercise that ended up being 214 days. When they heard they were going to make it home for Christmas, they made this video. MERRY CHRISTMAS!"

Is there anything better than Pandora, the free Internet radio site? I think not. We’ve been enjoying a steady stream of magnificent holiday music for weeks.
In their own words:
“You start a Pandora station by entering an artist name or a song title that is similar to the kind of music you'd like to hear. Pandora compares your starting point to each song in Pandora's massive music collection, using the detailed musical analysis in the Music Genome Project. Then your new Pandora station starts playing songs from a related corner of the musical universe.
Each Pandora station is completely unique to you. What you hear on your stations will be different from what everyone else hears, even when starting from the same artist or song.”
You may know about Pandora but have you considered that Pandora One could be the perfect last-minute holiday gift?
Pandora One provides unlimited, ad-free listening, high quality audio and much more with a one year subscription to Pandora One – all for just $36.

Fun/sometimes funky/definitely friendly/very informative. What could be better? You may have heard about their collection of roses. What you may not know is that they stock all the traditional annuals and perennials as well as an abundance of other plants that you might not find at most other garden centers.
Crank up your volume. Then click left and listen to Jack Johnson while viewing. I'll eventually figure out how to merge music with info/until then, enjoy.
It's Regan's Nursery on Decoto Road in Fremont, CA. Just a few minutes from Menlo Park/Palo Alto via the Dumbarton Bridge.
Take a short ride to find: Some pretty sensational succulents. Numerous heirloom vegetables. Interesting and often unusual herbs. Lots of labels featuring educational bits of info and/or fun facts.
It was raining recently when Susan and I were there pretending to be in England. We loaded up on herbs guaranteed to boost brain power (gotu kola). She apparently has a slew of very smart snails in her garden. Back to restock what they quickly consumed.
There's not much shade, so come prepared. And hold on to your hat. If it’s windy on our side of the bay, it’ll be much windier there.
I think you'll enjoy, as I always do, their awe-inspiring array of plants. If this info piques your interest, plan to spend at least an hour wandering around Regan's well-organized five acres. Clear your trunk just in case you locate a few new finds to bring home.
I make the short trip on a regular basis. See you there one day?
Bay Area friends...other than the following nurseries: Redwood City, Ladera, Portola Valley, Half Moon Bay (another top pick), Los Altos, Summer Winds (Palo Alto), Roger Reynolds (Atherton), Wegmans (Redwood City)...where else do you go/what other nurseries do you enjoy?
I'm thinking that Annie's Annuals could be a great adventure. Want to go one day? I'm game.
