It never ends. Today: we rented scaf­fold­ing. We’ve got the front done, the south side done, the back done, and the north side about ½ done. (And when I say done, I mean cov­ered in white foam insu­la­tion to a depth of two inches.) (Well, one inch on the south side.) The sid­ing? Promised today. Didn’t show …

Sid­ing is ordered. Should be here tomor­row or Wednes­day. Got the whole house wrapped eight feet high in one-inch foam board. Tomor­row: the sec­ond level, I guess. In the news—Brian Mul­roney is the great­est self-promoting mega­lo­ma­niac since Sir John A. Mac­Don­ald: his legacy as the great­est prime min­is­ter since John A. Mac­don­ald. Dear BM, there’s a …

Sub­mit­ted “Out­side, Look­ing In” to Lenox Ave. Wish me luck!

We’re re-siding the house, so I’ll prob­a­bly be a lit­tle bit sparse on here.

Well, we had a good BBQ week­end. I got hooked on Mon­day when Space ran all the episodes of Fire­fly all in a row. I watched about four of them, all told, through­out the day.

Lisa (read­ing) “Come to Homer’s BBBQ, the extra ‘B’ is for BYOBB”. Bart What’s that extra B for? Homer That’s a typo. So this Sun­day we’re hav­ing some folks over for a bar­be­cue (BYOBB, you bet), and then on Mon­day evening my wife’s cow-orkers are hav­ing a get-together fea­tur­ing a bar­be­cue too. To make the tri­fecta, I’ll be …

…or maybe Karen, his wife. Last night I caught the last half of The Nature of Things on CBC. It was, specif­i­cally, this episode, and so nat­u­rally I thought of you two. It was a fas­ci­nat­ing show, and even in the half hour that I saw I learned a cou­ple of things. (I didn’t real­ize, for …

I’m tired of wait­ing for .geek to recover. They’ve been down for over 168 hours now, and so… Unfor­tu­nately, I can’t seem to get in to retrieve the stuff I’ve got in their data­base.
