i’m bored now, as J. and randy continue to snap the chalk lines. the brisket was…well, it was edible. i don’t advise cooking it in the microwave, however. maybe if we’d added more water. so i was attempting to flip the channels on the TV and getting very...

here i am, typing away, sitting on the porch steps. i’d sit on the porch swing, but the chains are very very rusty and the whole thing will probably collapse pretty soon. so, it’s suddenly the middle of summer – i think it’s literally about 90 degrees right now....

i think i forgot to mention that i saw “bombay dreams” the musical in st. louis last weekend, and it was kind of good. i think it did badly on broadway, and i’m not quite sure why. i’ll have to look at some reviews. the dancing was good. the songs weren’t...
