Just had a brief morning adventure while preparing my lunch (salad w/chicken) for tonight at work. While THINKING about the possible cheese clog in the squeeze top of storebought blue cheese dressing (I usually make my own balsamic-red wine vinegrette, but I'm out of extra virgin olive oil), the damned thing exploded all over me -- on the counter, on my shoes, on the floor...and all over ME, freshly dressed for work. Wiped it all up. Sweater is now in the dryer, with the hope that it won't be embarrassing when I put it back on again to go to work. Now I've got to go out -- sweaterless in cooling temps (but with jacket & gloves) to get more firewood.

Arghhh!

(It's the little things...)

Charlie, I like the shanty.

Ah, yes, Mary, a HUGE to-do list consisting mostly of stuff he's put off for YEARS. And, believe it or not, I think I have him excited about getting some of that stuff accomplished.

Later,
Linn
