    The Speedy Life & Tragic Death of My AeroGarden

    |

    For my birthday this year, my brother Michael got me a very thoughtful gift. He got me an AeroGarden. In case you’ve never seen one, an AeroGarden is a black plastic contraption that holds a very strong light.

    I really didn’t want to write any more about my birthday–two posts were enough, don’t you think?–but then there was this quasi-surprise party (I knew there was going to be a party (it was at our apartment, so we had to clean) but I didn’t know who was coming) and Craig told everyone to bring…
