We got the dumpster and Marvin windows delivered this morning. I asked the dumpster girl which end is she attaching the diving board to. I told the contractor we should install the dumpster in the back yard (always wanted a built-in pool).

The Amish wanted to start tearing out the back of the house this morning; it's been raining all weekend and plans to keep doing so through the week!
 
Whenever I undertake a big project, there comes a moment where you realize that there’s no going back. You get a sick feeling in the gut and think what have I done! At least you can take comfort in knowing that the Amish carpenters will see it through.

Owning a pocketknife was a rite of passage, today it’s illegal.

Some have a tradition of bringing their own Laguiole tableware when they dine out in finer restaurants. I have a folding one for eating apples.

Piped-in Christmas music nearly pushed me over the edge in a very short-lived retail career. The source was a stack of records on a record player in the office. Someone would flip the stack over and we'd begin again
and again
and again
and again

and being at an age too young to drink ... that's as close to Michael Meyers as I want to get
