One lovely July day a few years ago I went grocery shopping and bought lots of sale meat, one of which was a 5 lb pack of hamburger. I was sure the kids had brought in all the groceries, but it wasn't until a couple of days later that I realized that the hamburger had somehow slid out of a bag under my back seat. My sympathies.

"Ewww" and "Ewww: The Sequel"
"Ewww" On Saturday, I noticed that my car smelled kind of fishy. And I don't mean fishy as in "suspicious," I mean "seafood-y." I figured it was perhaps an errant napkin from our jaunt to Woodman's on Saturday or just our briney beach bodies in need of showers. The next day, however, it seemed o...

Catching Up
So, here's what has been going on for the last week or so - The shop has been painted - including the floor, but not quite all the trim that I must do is done yet. And the front door and the area around it hasn't been touched yet. The basement bathrooms haven't been started being revamped yet, ...
