The Greatest Show in the Galaxy

A Seventh Doctor episode, TGSITG is a mixed bag. It's fun, there's a decent script, and the Doctor and Ace are at the top of their game. But it's a little heavy on the Who related symbolism - the fanboy, the crotchety explorer and his young companion, etc - and the location budget seems to have been nil. Still, it's a thumbs up from me.

My hip hurts and I am in a foul mood because of it. Discuss at your peril.

A Fire somewhere near I-94

The scene going east on 94 a half hour ago. This is NOT the semi fire near the zoo interchange but a separate fire somewhere near the valley.

Hatchet by Gary Paulson

Just my Luck

Oh no! I bought a Jesus statue on EBay and they sent the John The Baptist version instead! Seriously tho, I am very distraught. Lisa I'll need your talent to mend this.

A bike Ride with Junie

A bike ride with LK and a stop at the park was interrupted by a cold snap and rain. But we managed to drop off a framed photo of Lauren and her friend before the weather changed.

We went back to Kmart, bought some flowers, and Lisa, PD, and I spent the afternoon busting our butts in the backyard. Then we had dinner with JJ, I went for a bike ride with Junie, and (by necessity) I had to repair the basement door. So it's been a long but productive day for Team Slap.

JFK would be 100 today

Memorial Day

Seriously. Know and honor the difference.

K-Mart is Da Bomb!

Too many treat it as a joke or has been, but Kmart is the place to shop. Smiley and I got all these plants, plus a couple more, plus a 40lb bag of soil for a scant $8.95, courtesy of a sale and our rewards card! Hot dog!
