No Turning Back Now

And I have no regrets, in either case...

1. We're into the thick of it on the home improvement front. We got our 100 amp electrical panel installed yesterday, and our asbestos and entire furance were removed today. It'll be interesting to see the basement when I get home.


2. Sharon & my nine-year anniversary today. What can I say? There's definitely couples out there that find a way to spend more uninterrupted time together than do we, but I'd put the enjoyment of the time we spend together up against just about anyone. It's been a crazy last 12 months, and these episodes of hanging-out time we do find have been islands of sanity in an otherwise insane world.

Lucy will be hanging out with friend Harper from about four till eight this evening a Sharon & I plan to go out for a walk in the woods, followed by a low-key dinner and lotsa good conversation, I'm sure.

Congratulations, althought the timing's not so hot. We had our 13-year anniversary June 5 this year.

Congratulations to be sure, and enjoy it heartily.

Thanks all, and the timing couldn't have been better. We needed that.

Congrats on the Anniversary. I hope that you are able to at least enjoy some of your home improvements. I know you are not happy spending all that money and I should mention that nobody is. However, I hope that you can get some pleasure of having new and sound equipment.

Was Rik's part of the celebration? Just checking, this place seems to be a clear favorite of yours.

T-Clog: I wish I was getting new sound equipment!

Stephen: Though we did, indeed, eat at Rix, I've probably been overselling its importance in my life. I'm not the "Norm" of the place or anything. They just happen to be an almost uncannily cool eatery in the restaurant-poor neighborhood of mine. And they have Surly Bender on tap.
