Two Fridays ago my plan to get out of work early failed. In the end I didn't mind. Working on Uncle Boss's house still gave me the satisfaction of cutting and painting for someone who has earned it. My Opa and his chatty friend also stopped by. I also don't feel bad about my plan's failure because it involved two 16 oz sirloin steaks and mushrooms ( Read more... ) -

The History of Woodworking Tools is open and face down on page 63 by my bed. Geometry: Plane and Practical is on the dresser and has a receipt as a make-shift bookmark on page 120. The same with The Geometry of Art and Life on page 35. Chapters 1, 2, 5 and 8 of Euclidean and Non-Euclidean Geometries: Development and History have been read and ( Read more... ) -

How much rock would an Anna-rock rock if Anna-rock could rock rock?
Lots. And she does. And she did.
I got the best clump of postcards and belated occasion cards. Ever.

That really really really made me happy. -

Typically we work in a obnoxiously big house for someone who spends more money ( Read more... ) -

In my early teens I'd sometimes start to wake and feel paralyzed. The feeling itself was something like being unnerved, disconnected, powerless and tingly and needly, like jumping sparks that just hung in the gap, and I'd try to move my ( Read more... ) -

Yesterday I was a stand-by pallbearer for Great Uncle Jack.
My Opa and Aunt asked if I could help, since the funeral would be small, family only, and they weren't sure there would be enough able bodies. Jack was my Opa's sister's husband, and I don't think I've ever met the man. It took me quite awhile to recognize my mum's cousins, his children. I ( Read more... ) -

After I had a rake in hand or busted concrete from the old wash-tub, half a days yard work and clean up ended in a BBQ, quality company, and cool drinks in near perfect weather: 20 degrees on the back patio. B came for some of the labor T had popped by for a hello and took over the BBQ of meaty goodness. End that day hammering together cheap IKEA ( Read more... ) -

Aristotle Nader Jeepy Jeepy, you are a very bad motor-wagon. You are not allowed to sit and sulk and make me take you to the doctor again. If you don't say what's broken then I cannot fix it and it isn't fair that you almost cost me a day's work plus doctor's bills. You can't just go out for fun and not when there are responsibilities to fulfill. ( Read more... )
