the shuttle landed successfully on my birthday. that's good news all around.
declanmcmanus greeted me this morning with a delicious breakfast of crepes filled with a grilled wild caught salmon (caught by p's brother-in-law in alaska), cream cheese and chives spread, sliced apples and deep, dark, rich espresso.
p got a surprise deal on painting the roof of the house. the painter showed up early this morning while i was prancing around the front room in the buff. yeah, completely nekkid, doing a little dance for p, right there at the front door. could that be why the guy dropped the price for painting the roof by $150? anyways, the roof is painted. finally. pretty, shiny aluminum. good for another seven years he says.
