Take a break. Block for a few months, you won't miss out too much on the kids and you'll save yourself some stress.

TB, hope you are all right.

I'm itchy this morning and I swear I can smell soap or detergent or something. Might be related. Except the smell is none of MY soaps or detergents...

Well, I don't have a job offer yet, but I've been asked if I'm still interested in proceeding if they wanted to make one, so I guess that's good.

I slept almost all day yesterday and then couldn't get to sleep last night because of it, so now I'm exhausted. My sinuses are so achy that chewing too much is painful, but that didn't stop me from shoving hash browns and bacon in my face this morning.

Very exciting shrift--in California?

I am at a site with excruciatingly slow internet. This is going to be a problem.

Yes, it's one of the roles in Mountain View.

Woo shrift with a wonderful offer, Mountain View!

Sending good vibes, Gar. Please let us know you are okay when you get a chance!

Anyone have opinions stain colors? I'm having the porch ad deck redone, which is badly needed. But I'm kind of at a loss in figuring out what stain to go for. The house is sort of khaki? [link]

I love the look of a sort of bluish gray, but I don't know if that will work or just look old. Alternatively, a deeper color could work. But which? I am so out of my depth. Any ideas or opinions welcome.

Late to the party Brenda, but with the combo of those olive/taupe walls and cream colored trim I think I'd either try to get as close to the trim color as possible with a light semi-opaque stain or go for a dark cool brown like this espresso stain: [link]

It's weird to say that I had a good time at a visitation for my old roommate's mother last night, but I ran into a bunch of my post-college friends and caught up with them after paying my respects. I also got 35.6 miles to the gallon on the drive down and 33.8 on the trip back, so somehow my 10-year-old Chevy is getting better mileage than it did when it was new.

brenda, my parents have accents and trim on their house painted bluish grey (with a beige/khaki/I-don't-know-color-names "background") and I quite like it. It does give the house an old weathered look, but pleasantly so imo.

That doesn't sound weird to me at all, Matt. Funerals and memorials are one of the few things that brings old friends back together. It's one of the gifts that comes with grief.

Rogue Peacock!

Really, for the writing style and photos.
