I managed to save more than I initially thought I would be able to. One thing I found that I thought had been lost before the garage and basement fiasco and was able to save was a set of books my great-uncle had given me that were his when he was a little kid. Kind of one of those general knowledge/literature/poetry things that were really popular back in the day. I first learned about a lot of Irish mythology from those books, as well as a lot of cool poetry like "In Flander's Fields" by John McCrae. That poem is the reason the poppy is the symbol for Veteran's/Rememberance Day.

Yeah, that's kind of the way I'm looking at it. Better some than none.

I've been to AZ twice, and really liked it both times. The plants and animals fascinate me, they're so different from what I'm used to.

I spent my weekend being social. Group sing in New Hampshire on Saturday, and spent the day with Jason's parents on Sunday celebrating his birthday. Also got some play time with Sleeping Dogs.

OK, I've now seen the shirt. And people really do have way too much time on their hands. One of the things people are saying is that it might discourage women/girls from entering that field. Seriously? If that's all it takes, then they aren't all that interested in the first place. Yes, the shirt is tacky, yes, it might not have been the wisest wardrobe choice, but it's not even close to the worst thing I've ever seen.

Some people have nothing better to do. I didn't see the shirt, I'll have to go look now and see for myself.

Demolition is soooo much fun! My OM team in high school helped our coach demo the interior of a house he bought and was going to remodel. An entire weekend spent with a crow bar and a six pound sledge. Heaven!

I hear you on the height thing. One of the last things I did at the park before I got laid off for the season was to scrape the moss and lichens off the roofs of all the buildings. Four days going up and down ladders and crawling around roofs and worrying that I'd step backwards while I was working thw whole time.

Some of the things I had to junk recently were a bunch of old Isaac Asimov Science Fiction mags. I had a subscription for most of high school and all of college. Cyberpunk was very in at the time.

Ahem. I hate all you Pats haters. And 8-2, thank you very much.

Too late. Asshole.

Sounds like you had a good weekend. I watched some of the other games, but I only get NBC sporadically with my antenna, so wasn't able to watch the Pats game. They won anyway though :)

And the people they robbed worked hard, too. I fail to find them as cool as everyone else does, but that's just me.
