- I disarmed another marital booby trap today by buying jewelry for Mother’s Day, not the reasonably priced sneakers Irish Woman asked for.
- I don’t have much to live for, but I have more than that.
- And yes, she’s getting the sneakers too.
- To Irish Woman, it’s a graduation, complete with religious ceremonies, luncheons, and a graduation party.
- To me, it’s “Good job this year, kiddo. Next year, high school, and in four years, you graduate. Now go mow something.”
- My professional life would be a lot easier if I got problem descriptions that were better than the equivalent of “My car’s making a funny noise.”
- My wife, genius that she is, figured out that if she made a tent over the top of the cool-weather crops out of a fine, white gauze, they would grow better and grow longer.
- It actually works. We’re still getting lettuce, kale, and peas.
- She also figured out that she shouldn’t let the fine mesh of the tent stretch out into the tall grass, especially when she’s in a hurry to get the lawn mowed before dark.
- I described the resulting fine, white mesh wrapped around the blades and drive shafts of the mower as “My Big Fat Greek Wedding meets Lawnmower Man”
- Driving a U-Haul truck through traffic in a construction zone really does wonders for the value you place in humanity. By the time I had moved a bedrooom’s worth of oak furniture from one storage facility to another, I was ready to embrace our new alien overlords, intent on the immolation of me and everyone else on this dirt ball.
