The corn, not porn....

The corn, not porn....

I can't believe how quickly the corn has come up along the I-65. Driving this route as many times as we have in the last 2 months has given me the chance to watch it go from brown icky land to beautiful lush green. This is my favorite time of course except it makes me want to eat corn off the stalk and I only made that mistake once (coz not all corn grown here is for human consumption). We had fresh corn from the farmers market last week and it was the best corn I have ever eaten in my life (until the next cob I eat, of course.)

The title of my post comes from a funny press interview I did a few years ago with a reporter from Iowa. It was my first time heading to Iowa and I asked him what the state was known for.....I thought he said porn and had a whole conversation applauding him about being brave enough to admit that. It was only when I drove into Iowa for the first time that I realized he actually said.......'corn'.

So here's an interesting 'off topic' question.....do you ever have times when life feels like its going SO well that your brain just HAS to come up with scenarios about possible disasters because you can't really quite believe that it can continue to keep going so well? I keep having those moments and they annoy the shit out of me. I would really like to work out how to not automatically go to that place. I know my friend Deb would probably say that you just acknowledge it without giving it any energy or power, and let it go. But hell, that's easier said than done!!! I want an easy way damn it!!!

Haha.....slapping my own knee laughing at myself.

For now, its back to the pretty green corn and getting ready for a fun house concert this afternoon with my friends Lisa & Sheri in Lockport.

Thanks for reading mates, happy Sunday to you (or Monday if you are in Oz)!
