fallenpegasus came over and we had no-holds-barred halibut stew (with heavy cream and bacon fat), tried Red Knot Shiraz 2002 (yumm...mmy!), and watched the incredibly, inexcusably bad Robot Monster, a film about the last family on Earth and the monster (really, a guy in a gorilla suit with a space helmet and rabbit-ears antennae stuck to his head) who was out to kill them, but who fell in love with the beautiful young daughter with razor-sharp eyebrows and deadly cheekbones. With beginnings and endings cobbled out of One Million Years B.C cutting-room floor rejects and a script so horribly ham-handed, I'm afraid I can't find much good to say about it. Apparently, neither could Joel & Co on the Satellite of Love.
Saturday, after a breakfast of bacon & eggs, Omaha, Kouryou-chan and I drove over to her school, Three Tree Montessori, where for the third time this year I found myself up on the roof, cleaning out the gutters. It wasn't nearly so bad this year as last-- I think last year they'd let it go for a year-- and since it hasn't rained in a week the handling wasn't nearly as bad as it had been.
After that, we ran over to Oloteas for a pleasant little evening with friends, a potluck and a ritual. This ritual was done by four beloved friends of mine and was actually rather nice although, unlike most rituals, there wasn't a lot of congregation involvement. Still, we swam in the pool, and Kouryou-chan gave me a few heart-stopping moments when she tried to swim without her float assistance.
I was griping about my recent trip to the physician and his general assessment that, "Yeah, you're about to turn 40." I will say that there are few things more embarassing than having your wife turn to two other women you're currently dating and saying, "40? I haven't noticed any problems with his virility. Have you?" "Nope, nope, haven't noticed." Sigh.
Today, after a breakfast of delicious waffles, we went out to Home Depot and bought more stone for the stairs that lead up to the west garden run, only to find out that we'd first need another section of retaining wall to hold the garden up before we made the stairs. What a pain in the ass. But man, I feel like I've dug up the entire planet. My arms are building fast. Since it was still out on the counter, I made my lunch by brushing a cheese sandwich with olive oil and smushing it in the hot waffle iron. It looked weird and tasted great.
And, given all the crap we dug up today along the fenceline, This entry at Worth 1000 is Worthy, indeed.
