Despite the fact I’ve only used it twice, it’s sad to take my boat out of the water.  How fitting that in the process of dealing with my mail, I signed my snowplow contract for this winter.

Not only did we get out kayaking, but we took a short ride in TickledPink!

Boxelder bugs.  Everywhere.  Ick.

I think I’m going to like OfficeGroove2007 quite a lot!

The Wagon’s alarm keeps going off.  I’m beginning to think it’s a mechanical/electrical issue and not a User issue.  Yes, we still go to Caribou most every Tuesday and this was no exception, but I’ve quit counting for all sorts of reasons.

I had forgotten what a painfully slow process piano tuning is.  It doesn’t help that I’ve got two pianos that haven’t been tuned in over a year.  The morning is not wasted!  I’ve done laundry, packed away some summer clothes and started on my suitcase for NY.  I’ve reactivated my Netflix queue in hope that will motivate me towards the exercise room.  Drat!  The Piano Tuner is out of time and has to come back another day to do the Steinway.  I finally get to my office only to find my computer doesn’t work.  My guess; video card.  Tim will confirm and fix in the morning.

Kyoko is playing the piano using my lesson books.  Does that mean I don’t have to practice this week?  It is such a treat to hear someone else play my piano!

First thing I hear as I walk in the office this morning; “We have a problem!”.  So nice to be needed.

So kewl how the Moon shines on my pillow in the wee hours of the morning.  Someone from the Minnesota Historical Society called this afternoon to apologize for not greeting me personally at the Lightner House Event last week.  I don’t think my donation warrants that sort of attention, but whatever.  The part that excites me is that he’s going to have their Curator call me regarding my square grand piano that I’m not using and would like to be rid of in my long term effort toward downsizing.  I’ve been unsuccessful in an attempt to sell the thing and a tax deduction for donating it would be nice.

I was ready to get back to the gym this morning and seem to be suffering no ill effects.  We saw Ron Howard’s “In the Shadow of the Moon” at the Lagoon Theater.  While I enjoyed the movie, I don’t think it’s going to be a big box office hit.
