Enrique Oliu / Garden update
August 31, 2009O.K. here’s something that is nothing short of amazing. In baseball, it’s often said that you can see something new everyday if you look close enough. Well, here’s a new one.
Enrique Oliu is the color analyst for the Tampa Bay Rays radio broadcast and he is….blind. That’s right, the man can’t see.
“It doesn’t make sense, right?” Carlos Pena the Rays’ first baseman, says of Oliu. “It’s unbelievable to me. But he does it. And he does it well.”

On another note, here’s an update on our front yard experiment. If you didn’t see my post a few weeks ago about growing food, basically we ripped out our front yard and planted a garden.
This was about 3-4 weeks ago and much of the stuff we planted we planted by seed. Check out what happened. When I left for Italy, there wasn’t much going on. I get home 3 weeks later and BAM! It’s on. Even our neighbors are impressed and I’ve caught them doing some early morning “shopping” in our yard.
With this development and the fact that I started drinking green tea, I’ll probably live approximately 158 years. This is good.
Lettuce, onions, peppers, squash, cucumber, tomato, carrot, beet, etc.
Our own grocery store in our front yard. Easy.
