Cooking with a freshly sharpened knife is one of life’s great simple pleasures.

If I don’t make it to work tomorrow, it’s because the cats did not want to go to bed.

Lis bought these a few years ago for leaf cleanup season. I seem to recall I poo-pooed them at first, but they’re awesome! You put your hands through the handles, turning your dinky, delicate fingers into giant rake/paddle hybrids that pick up just the right amount of leaves, sticks, etc. to fit into a typical yard-waste bag. Plus you get to feel like Wolverine while you do it.

I love the South Station Pirate. I get to see him every day when I leave work in the Dark Season and he makes me smile.

On this stressful day I bring you Relaxed Gandalf.

I took a day off from my regular job today to make progress on the dry room. The rough carpentry is done. The hardest part? Getting all that lumber into the basement! Next up? hanging the door, a little electrical, and plastic-sheeting the walls & ceiling. Once that’s done it’ll actually be usable, though I would like to hang drywall and put down some cheap finish flooring just to make it a little more attractive and durable.
