With a little help from my friends

Overall, it was a very good weekend:

moved 64 cubic feet of sand
moved 8′ by 8′ sand box
raked front and back yard of fall and winter debris
cleaned out window wells
got lawn mower started after a long winter’s nap
mowed front yard
straightened and beefed up mulch around the house
cleaned out garage
found and restored leaf sucker/blower
put winter paraphernalia in orderly storage
bikes out of storage and pumped up
replaced burned out light bulb in garage door opener
caulked the bathtub
completed 2004 taxes (if I pass the audit, I will come out ahead this year, yay!)
created and employed a system for organizing receipts for next year’s taxes
cleaned up 13 piles of alien dog doo-doo
built alliance with neighboring victims of dog doo-doo deposits (there’s comfort in not being the only one)
almost have doo-doo doer’s owner identified

Special thanks to neighbor Wayne (for the wheel barrow), neighbor Bill (for the doo-doo lead), Jim (lawn mower tip), Peter (taking J to wrestling tournament), Josiah (window wells), Stephen (lawn king extraordinaire), Luke (sand box and bicycle detail, and great Subway sandwhich tip), Kari (for sharing Luke all day), and Darla (Brekke Bunch bus driver)!

And I edited at least 80 papers so far! (only 420 left to go…)

    Hey, thanks for linking to me! Any ideas for a clever name?

    Hey, check out my comments over there on your site: Cogito, ergo sum or is that already taken somewhere? But please confirm with me so I get the bar joke - it means “I think therefore I am”, right or no?

    I RSS feeded you too, by the way…

    Right, that’s what it means. I’d love to call it that but there’s already a blog by that name…

    Actually, it is already taken :-( And ‘Cogito, ergo sum’ does mean: ‘I think, therefore I am’

    Ok, how about Descartes’ Bar and Grill?
