Good example, ha ha ha. I think I have 200 first-draft words of the 1000 needed for one thing, and bupkis for the other.

Sugar maples are only found in one area of the world. This ranges from Southeast Canada, down into the Northeastern United States. Massachusetts, New York, New Hampshire, Vermont, Pennsylvania, Maine, and as far west as Ohio all have sugar maples.

I hate to dispute Maple Facts, but they are on Maple Crack. We have Sugar Maples here in Minnesota. I've actually visited and helped out at a "Sugarbush," visited others, and I know of several in the old growth back woods of Minnesota.

I'm also pretty sure the maple tree the city planted in my front yard ten years ago is an acer saccharum, but that doesn't count, as it was not a natural growth.

Heh. Thanks to Betsy's encouragement I'm making JZ watch Flash Gordon (the Queen one)

"No! Not the Bore Worms!"

"Flash Gordon. Quarterback. New York Jets."

Ah, the movie that made me gay. Though I'm not sure whether credit should go to the soundtrack, the set design, or Sam Jones being strung up in leather shorts...

or Sam Jones being strung up in leather shorts...

Prompting JZ to ask, "Why are they making him wear a pleather diaper?"

oh Perkins....bathroom fully scrubbed, 3 bags of linens space bagged and put away, bed changed, chili cooking, folding laundry now...

Jesse, if I see you post again, I shall be forced to come over there and KICK YOUR PROCRASTINATING ASS!!!

msbelle, I have done five loads of laundry & folded two, roasted a chicken, done yoga, and watched Grey's Anatomy. About to do dishes.

I am taping a TV biopic about Tommy Douglas, a socialist politician in Canada most famous for being the father of socialized medicine and Kiefer Sutherland's grandfather. I'm a little sad that they didn't pull off a stunt casting coup and had Kiefer play him. (but I guess Kiefer does look more like his dad than his mom's side of the family.)

My cats have finally figured out that a raw chicken becomes the nummy roast chicken they love. Everytime I checked on it, I was later mobbed by cats. You've never seen three people (well, one person, two cats) so excited when the chicken was ready.

YAY Sue with the productive day.

I love the way the house smells on big cleaning day. The bathroom has all the air-drying clothes in it so it smells like clean laundry. The vuccuumed rooms all have residual carpet freshener smell, and the kitchen smells like whatever is cooking (today white chili).

now I feel like I must list my accomplishments...yet I'm not sure I have any today
