Four things...

I've been...lacking...in my weekend chores lately. Today I did better, though, so I'm happy. I:

  1. Replaced the leaky showerhead in the boy's bathroom

  2. Mowed and weedwhacked the lawn

  3. Ran some cat5 under the house to connect the downstairs computer - I even did the 'wall-plate' thing, instead of just a bare hole in the wall.

  4. Replaced the broken toilet seat. I don't know how it got broken, and I don't want to. It's replaced now.


Not a lot, but it's progress. I still have a #5 I want to get done - play 'Sorry' with the kids after supper. Joni's making latkes for supper now. The kids are all downstairs playing around instead of cleaning the playroom. So maybe no supper or game for them if they keep it up. :-/

Oh, yeah!!!1!!l!

Thanks to my lovely and talented wife, I now own a Jayne Cobb hat! Aren't I just the luckiest?

Yes. Yes I am.

[edit - the wife wasn't happy with the lack of excitement in the title, and the shortness of the post overall]

William Shakespeare - Sonnet #18


Shall I compare thee to a Summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And Summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And oft' is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd:
But thy eternal Summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wanderest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:

So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
