As I was preparing dinner, Jamie warned me: ”I need to leave soon. My buddy Joe needs some help weighing his tomato.”
No amount of forewarning can ever prepare you for that.

Addendum. I posted his comment to Facebook and this was his response:
Allegedly a new state record tomato, thank you. This could be history in the making! A historic event. As a result a new strain of tomatoes could be developed that could feed nations!!! Tens of thousands of starving children in Africa saved from the small and simple sacrifice of time for weighing this tomato!!!! The humanity, the humanity. I don’t wish to be praised for my unselfish act however. Just knowing that some small child will be able to sleep tonight with a full belly is satisfaction enough. Thank you and God bless America!
Please pray he doesn’t add tomato to his giant vegetable/fruit growing obsession!
