A blessed Sabbath, Gerbil Nation!
I hope Sven’s EABBQ & walk-about went well.

G’morning, GN! (Hope RabBeet drops-in and gets to see teh thread pic!)

I hope Sven’s EABBQ & walk-about went well.

Seconded.

Tweaked my lower back yesterday maneuvering a particularly heavy book box through teh garage obstacle course (which is itself largely caused by teh shuffling of cartons around in there). Doing much better today, but I think further carton schlepping will be deferred until tomorrow. Plus, I’ve already got three other partially-unloaded book boxes in teh office I can fiddle with.

BBL.

Rest-the best medicine for something like that.

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!

Greetings from delightful Bountiful.

Good morning,

Alive, barely. I think I’m too old for some of this stuff.

The City workers actually came through and got the road open right around 2:00 so little impact. Seventy people all told, but things worked and flowed mostly OK. Folks seemed happy; the band played for 3 hours-Mrs Sven did vocals on 4 songs and did alright. No fights-not even a serious argument. One irate neighbor. Looking around this morning-the place aint too wrecked.

My friend Steve from CO who passed away back in ’09-his daughter and ex-wife came in. His daughter is growing into a beautiful young lady-a sweet girl-he’d be proud of her.

I’ll do a little cleanup while Mrs Sven sleeps-we didnt crash until 3 this morning-and then a traditional brunch at a local Mexican place.

Huh., The Kings won last night-at least they aint getting swept.

I need some prayers for my back-door neighbors. When I first moved in 20 years ago they really didn’t like me or the family. But in the last 10 years we have both tried to build a friendship based upon mutual respect.

And we did. I so love Fran and Mark. They have become my bestest neighbors ever. I look after Deuce, their dog (and without whom, my Sarah would be the worst dog in the neighborhood) and they look after Sarah.

I noticed that Fran was looking thinner a few years ago and I have a good friend that via happenstance has the same oncologist. Now, she is in the end stage of cancer. I just am so upset. It’s the same as when Drew or Mom or Dad died.

Frequently, I grill or make food for them and they do the same for me. OK, I’m just rambling now. You know, I really love my neighbors, all my neighbors. I just hope that someday we will be neighbors again.

I’m very sorry, Jerry. I know that terrible feeling, as do you. My thoughts are with you.

I’m sorry, Jerrie. Prayers for Fran, Mark, and you. Prayers for your good friend, as well. You really are a good neighbor and a Good Gerbil.

So I was over at Drudge and, my G*d, the world doesn’t get any less dysfunctional, does it?!

I came back here for some sanity. Thanks, TSW.

Happily snagged from protein wisdom, who nicked it from Dave Burge, who got it from heaven-knows-where:
