Well, the sink doesn't leak anymore, and there is both hot and cold water, and there is still a ceiling in the kitchen. So, I guess all's well that leaves only a watermark.

Got the shelves for the closet nailed together. Note that I said nailed and not glued. I had routed some lines for the shelves to fit into, but apparently I was drunk when I was cutting the boards, so only one fit. Nothing a rubber mallet and some will power couldn't fix though. Looks like there will be some caulking going on when those shelves get installed.

At Robinson's recommendation, I bought "A People's History of the United States" the other day. So far, I can see what John was talking about when he said that he had to read a chapter, put it down, and go back to it because he got so angry. The introductory chapter deals with Columbus and the natives that he encountered/enslaved when he reached the New World. Hard passages to read. Hard reading, particularly to anyone who has any view of Columbus as a hero. So far, this seems like a must-read to anyone with any interest in revisionist history.

My pops put in his notice of retirement as of January. Hard to imagine, but he's been at his job for almost 37 years. I wonder if that will be the case for anyone of our generation. It doesn't seem like I can even name anyone that's held the same job for 5 years, let alone 10. I know it's been expounded on by many, but it just doesn't seem like there's any loyalty on either side of the employee/employer relationship anymore.

Next steps for projects on the house? While it's looking like the kitchen has moved up the priority scale, I was thinking it was time to put down some new baseboard in the dining room. Also, there are several bottles of wine in the wine rack that I was thinking could use some help. Oh, and my couch could use a nap with me too.

Just got word of the arrival of two people that like to play with rocks and dirt, from West Virginny and somewhere on the other side of the world. Not sure Orono can handle either of them anymore, but then again, the Orono that they knew didn't have Naughty School Girl contests at the Bear Brew either.
