Leroy Jethro Gibbs installed our ceiling fans!
Last Monday, we had ceiling fans installed in the master bedroom, my office, the bird room, and out on the lanai. The installer actually arrived earlier than he'd told us (a phenomenon we seem to be seeing a lot of here). I looked at Bobby and said, "Does he remind you of anyone?"

An UNCLE story for the season
I saw this mentioned on another journal, read it, and loved it. It's sweet, and perfectly timed for the season. Enjoy

Diehard that I am, I stayed up until the end of the postgame -- and those of you how know early I tend to get up will understand what it means when I tell you I went to bed at 1:45am.

I found another TV show
Okay -- the verdict is in -- I officially like Fringe. I haven't seen any current eps because it conflicts with the ABC shows I tape on Thursday nights (not that I've had time to watch any of them...), and the living room DVR/VCR have been busy with Yankees games.
