My Present Is Our Future
Meg just presented me with my, er, present for Valentine’s Day a bit early. Roomba is currently charging up for it’s trial run. I hope it likes pine needles. I am currently anxiously awaiting for my initial 16 hour charge time to complete. I have never been so excited to vacuum in my entire life. [...]

More On Home Rule
In followup to the Home Rule meeting, Mom pointed out a YDR article that goes over some of the thoughts about home rule. At this point, I know so little about what changes are possible with Home Rule, I think we can only benefit by conducting the study. I don’t see the downside.

Weekend Projects
I got started on cleaning up the early leaves that have dropped. Within minutes, my rake handle broke. I gallantly tried to continue on, using my now stubby rake. Immediately, my rake, which I had named Stubby Jim: The Rake Who Is A Pirate just moments earlier suffered a horrible accidently.
