Today I saw my wife pass before my eyes. Okay, not really. But when she was up on the ladder, painting the roof of our new, way-too-expensive porch, I did offer a prayer that she didn't fall off. I would have been up there myself, but as my weight is probably around 230 lbs, I decided to stay off our 200 lb rated ladder. I never used to worry about such things--but the older I get, the more cautious I become. Whether that's a good thing, or not, I don't know.

Anyway, I'd write more, but basically all I did this weekend was put in some overtime and paint. Oh, and I did load up Snood on the laptop, which is why I'm not writing anything substantial. I am now ready for China. All the rest is just gravy.
