Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Happy birthday, Bev!

Epic, I hope the health stuff resolves quickly so you can get the work stuff resolved.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Did I mention the tired part?

You deserve a hot tub and a cold drink.

JZ has taken Matilda over to see the new house for the first time. I'm hoping it resonates with her.

Our wings are not tired.

I managed sufficient energy to prune some rose bushes and then sat and enjoyed the nice cool breezes. Dinner is in the oven. Tahini roasted cauliflower and pork chops.

Yum! I have no idea what I'm eating. Whatever JZ can slide under my door, so probably American cheese slices and pop tarts. (I kid! It's a joke from Douglas Coupland's Microserfs.)

I'm glad you didn't lose your sense of taste. I understand it is super freaky.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I hope Matilda loves the house! Have you posted a link here that I missed?

This is our house (or, will be when we close): [link]

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I understood hat reference! Not that I could have come up with Microserfs as the source, but I knew it was something I read. Surely that counts.

Full credit!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

It was a really nice day, guys, thanks for all the wishes. There was chocolate, and there's some left, so that's a definite plus!

How much longer are you bound to durance vile, David?

Rest well, Laura--and everybody else who's overtired and under-spoiled.
