Perhaps I shall make this my personal blog. So far, so good.
This weekend Claire, Catherine and I went to Mark and Meg's cabin. Grandma, Mark, Meg and the three of us. About five minutes after arrival Catherine began the ATV chant; fortunately I was able to hold her off for a full forty five minutes. Mark went with us. Then another ride after that. Then another ride Saturday morning. Then another ride in the afternoon. Then she was ready to go home.
So Sunday at 5am I awake sounding like a flock of honking geese; the dust from riding behind Mark and among the brush had me as stuffed up as I have ever been. How thankful I am for Kleenex, Sudaphed, Benadryl, Motrin, Tylenol PM and ESPECIALLY for Dr. Oz. recommended SinuCleanse. Have you ever POURED salinated warm water up your right nostril and felt the joy of it coming out the left?
Claire, you are SO thoughtful!

Just call me master

I survived grad school! Wa-hoo!

Tires

I hope when you guys get to be my age that you won't have to come up with this idea: I have been shopping around for tires since I am driving around on tires-turned-ice-skates. The problem is new tires cost at least $400 and we don't have $400 (that's the part that I hope the rest of you don't have to worry about at my age). So I went to Wal-Mart to get a quote and Larry (with baseball cap he has been wearing for at least 20 years, which I think was the last time he had a haircut) said he had one tire at $20 and another at $30. I looked over at the odds n ends tires and saw those two tires sitting there; I couldn't take my eyes off of them: $20!! So Larry, do you recommend I buy those tires? No I don't.

Last night I got the bright idea to call around to other tire stores and find two more misfits. Does anyone think that is a bad idea? Does Larry really know what he is talking about? If each tire has different traction properties wouldn't that be a good thing?
