kevin didn’t buy one toilet, he bought TWO. two for one sale? nope, he decided that since one went bad, he should replace both of them. the roto rooter man installed one, and kevin installed the other, and dad was quite impressed that kevin knew how to do that.
the rest of saturday wasn’t nearly that thrilling, but we did go to the symphony saturday night. the first act was only eight minutes long, the second, “ode to joy” was over an hour. during that time, the symphony chorus was going to sing, and they all sat there up in their chairs, looking out over the audience. i kept watching them, and they mostly looked bored. it wouldn’t be so easy, though, looking anything but bored while just sitting for an hour. it’s not like grinning wildly or making faces at the audience would have been appropriate. i saw one young woman yawn hugely without covering her mouth, but really i was surprised by the lack of yawning by the folks on the stage.
not that it was boring, but it seems it’d get a little old, sitting up there all the time, plus they just did the show friday night in bloomington, plus i’m sure they had to rehearse it at least once with the orchestra.
on sunday morning i had kevin search for an easter basket i gave him. he found it quickly, because he’s good at finding things. he says when he was a kid, his parents went to great lengths to hide the kids’ easter baskets, and the kids were good at finding them. one year his parents hid his brother’s basket in the tank part of the toilet, all wrapped in plastic. another time they hid it up in a tree.
the grilled turkey was delicious.
even though it’s grey and gloomy outside right now, it’s going to get warm again by the end of the week. all is good.
ok then,
grace on tuesday morning.
p.s. did you see barack obama on the letterman show last night? it would be so amazingly great if he becomes president.
