You've Earned It...

  1. Are we all laboring so hard on Labor Day that no one has yet observed the firstliness of Howard Dean?

    Cat--the links you asked for are on the previous thread.

    1. Yep, laboring that hard. Deadline, deadline, deadline. And I leave for Connecticut on Thursday evening. (Have I mentioned my sister-in-law's 50th wedding anniversary?)

    2. Bill, if it's your sister-in-law's wedding anniversary, isn't it also your brother's anniversary? Or?

    3. No, this is my wife's sister and her husband.

  2. Spent time with Mah*Sweetie's brother and sister-in-law today. I have tons to do the next few days, but then some time off around my birthday. All good! :-)

  3. We got a lot of work done the past couple of days, inside and outside. And I have yet to start on an affidavit I promised without fail by tomorrow. The deadline looms, and I must answer the call soon. (I remember a college professor pointing out that there was a difference between the procrastination of a freshman and a junior or senior; the former delayed until it was too late; the latter until there was just barely time enough.)

    If the bathroom scale is to be believed, I must have sweated off about four or five pounds working outside today--definitely enough to require water and salt pills.

    I was looking at a very nice (retractable point) fountain pen, already at a very good price online. I spotted a very nice and unusual color that I particularly liked, but when I went looking for details, there was not an "add to cart" button, although they said they had them in stock. I had previously found mention that it was a special color only manufactured in 2003. So on a hunch I looked at the company's eBay site, and found four for sale there--one at the regular price, three at bid (one with prices quoted in GBP). I am guessing that the company is moving out their remaining small stock of a slow-moving item on eBay. So I placed an automated last-moment bid, and maybe I will get it at a bargain price. If that bid doesn't work, there are the others.
