Well, life here is a little different than the routine I used to have in California. Yesterday, I helped work on the deck a bit, tried to come up with a workable design for the home theatre screen, and went to a sustainable gardening workshop, complete with Celebrity Composter and his "Wormbulance" - a genuine ambulance converted for advancing his vermiculture mission. I didn't win the workshop door prize, but John (the Worm Man and a very nice fellow) sold me a 5-gllon bucket of worms to start my worm composting pile.

Today I perfected the projection screen design, completed that project, painted part of the basement, and met a friend at a University theatre for what I thought was a vary bad play (we left at intermission). Tomorrow I am going to pick up some free landscape rock I heard about at the gardening workshop, clean up the theatre project a bit, go to a tour of a local TV station, and participate in a men's group evening.

Boredom is not a problem around here...I still have a mess of landscape and a lot of exrternal painting to do. My desire to paint full time (the artsy kind) has not subsided, but it has been pushed off the calendar by so much to do for now.


A couple of days ago I dug out for the expanded walk to match up with the bottom step of the new front deck.



Today, most of the structural components of the deck were complete. Tomorrow we should finish it...it's turning into a very nice outdoor room I think we'll use a lot.
