I spent the weekend at my parent's house.

I felt kinda like I was in the tv show Arrested Development.

I hope to GOD that I'm Michael, rather than GOB.

I spent the weekend at my parent's house. Did a lot of gardening, and managed to get a lot accomplished. Moved some concrete steps out back, as well. Just generally had a very DIY weekend.

I even helped my Dad's cousin learn how to use his new digital camera. I was feeling unusually energetic.

Now, to get some sleep tonight.

I got to swim a lot this weekend. Which is good. I love swimming.

Spent a bit over 5 hours outside yesterday. Mostly swimming. Even put on sunscreen a couple times. Still managed to get a mild sunburn on my shoulders. Looks like I should have put it on once or twice more.

Swimming and home-cooked meals = very, very good.

I shall be visiting my parents for Mother's Day Weekend.

It's too bad, but I don't think it will be warm enough for me to use the swimming pool.

I made out like a bandit on Christmas.....a bandit that got away with a lot of clothing. Which isn't so bad. I mostly got practical gifts, like a new wallet, socks, etc ( Read more... )

I wanted to wish a Happy Mother's Day to everyone, but most especially to the mothers (I'm looking at you, Christina).

She took the initiative and called me at about 8 am. I was asleep, but picked up the phone. Here's a portion of the conversation ( Read more... )

Christmas was a lot better than I expected. My family was about the same as usual. My Mom's health problems continue. She's gotten better, which means that she has enough energy to throw fits (which was what she does when she has enough energy). My Dad put her back in the hospital yesterday. I suspect that he did this to get some peace & quiet ( Read more... )

I went to Naples, Florida. Which means I needn't fear being shot in the foot by a certain person *glares at Andrea ( Read more... )

Today is my Dad's 64th Birthday!

I called him today. He got his card yesterday, which pleases me mightily. I tried to time it so that it would show up today. Yesterday is just as well.

I think I'll put together a Beatlecentric cd for him. "When I'm 64" seems an appropriate song to include....
