Interesting what happened after discovering my &#8220;gift&#8221; in the backyard. In the midst of cursing his name (which lasted the entirety [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=loribrooks.wordpress.com&blog=112585&post=349&subd=loribrooks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

We got home yesterday to find that the air conditioner (built in 1979) had leaked through the newly mudded ceiling, onto the newly installed, but as yet unfinished, hardwood floors. Fantastic.

My recent trip to DC was great. While I was there for a course that took up about 87% of my time, luckily I&#8217;m fast like lightning and was able to get in most of the sites.
