The Nesting Continues... I had some time off recently. Naturally, I decided to spend it crawling around the attic. I threw a whole bunch of insulation up against the roof of our old Cape (at least the parts I could get to). You can see where the insulation is working. And where it's not.

Circle of Life I dropped off a bunch of old CDs at Newbury Comics on Saturday. The guy actually thanked me for having interesting stuff to sell back. Then I went and spent that money on insulation for the attic. In other news, I am old.

I Say "Doctor, Ain't There Nothin' I Can Take..." I spoke to a new asthma and allergy doctor this week. He listened to my questions. He asked follow up questions. He didn't give me one word answers. He never asked me to "trust his 20 years experience". He actually ordered up some tests instead of just guessing at the problem and handing me some pills. It was a much much better experience

Pat Leaves the House on a School Night with his Lady Friend We had my in-laws staying with us last week. They seem to eat their body weight in toast and tea on a daily basis, but other than that, they're not too bad to have around. Plus... Free babysitting! We're fairly social people. We like to do stuff. But our access to the Outside World has been virtually shut off somewhat reduced since

And I didn't get around to going over to the library until today. And I didn't think to look if someone had checked it out in between last Friday and today. Damn you, other library patrons!
