Tour de France:
Oh, dear, Armstrong. I think I will be rooting for Leipheimer now. And Schleck.
Wesley: We were fighting on opposite sides, but it was the same war. Fred: but you hated her…didn't you? Wesley: It's not always about holding hands.

So, I'm off to bed here in a minute, and when I wake up, it will be my last full day in China. I'm sort of freaking out about it! I didn't foresee being this sad leaving. I suppose that's a good sign? Being sad leaving a place? I would rather be sad that I'm leaving than be super excited to get out, I think.

Not only LeBron, Calli. There was a lot of schadenfreude aimed at ESPN, too.Which was funny for a while...who doesn't love mocking the bad boss? But he kind of kept it going to the point that even I was like "Well, glad you're over it." He could've ended up *doing* that interview, after all.(Well, actually, he wouldn't, he would stamp those huge feet and quit, probably.) I want David Simon as a Countdown guest. Surface differences aside, I think they would feel like brothers from another mother.The Eastern seaboard would experience an outrage shortage, though.

So....paint stripping is revolting looking and a lot of work. And I've almost gone through a quart of the stuff and that's just the endpost. I will be sanding, not stripping, the spindles. Eating a banana and then I'm going swimming. And then out for more dropcloth, stripper and sandpaper.

sarameg, have you tried a heat gun? If it's peeling right off the varnish, low heat will probably do it. I use a respirator or at least a heavy duty mask, but it there's any lead paint, it's still safer than sanding.

I am cleaning some of the things, and as a consequence, sneezing my head off. Oww.

I've finally figured out who the Dutch coach reminds me of--Terence Stamp.
Also, go Oranje!
