I like Sundays.\u00a0 My workout schedule is 6 days a week and Sunday is a day off.\u00a0\u00a0 Much of my life Sunday, especially Sunday morning\u00a0 was a work day, so to have the day off is a special treat in my world.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Of course, like most Sundays, I will write today and spend some more time on the garden plan.\u00a0 Might even watch a play-off game.\u00a0 How ’bout them Packers?\u00a0 Winning in the snow.\u00a0 Northern football.\u00a0 Brett Favre comes from Mississippi; must have been a shock when he first started in Green Bay.<\/p>\n
Yesterday I looked over plans for root cellars.\u00a0 Kate and I plan to put one in this next growing season.\u00a0 I’m not sure where quite yet.\u00a0 One book recommends digging into a hill, which makes sense, and I have a hill right outside the window here.\u00a0 The problem is, if I\u00a0dig it by hand, there are difficulties.\u00a0 First order of business is to kill and remove the poison ivy.\u00a0 Then, since this hill has seven oaks trees on its crest and a few stubby ash and oak there will be woody roots to remove.\u00a0\u00a0Not to mention the actual digging.\u00a0 That could be a good workout, though.<\/p>\n
None of this is impossible, of course.\u00a0 The question is whether I’m willing to do all the work by hand.\u00a0 If we put the root cellar in the back, we could have a backhoe come in and do the heavy lifting, then all we’d have to do is frame it out, make steps and a floor, put in a roof and call it a cellar.\u00a0 To get to the hill area I’d like to use, any heavy equipment would have to come over lawn and I’m not sure I want to do that.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Noticed in the paper today that the election has world attention.\u00a0 As well it might.\u00a0 Having spent the last presidential election in Singapore, however, I can report that even then\u00a0taxi drivers gave a damn about whom we elect as President.\u00a0 Many foreign nationals are eager to see the Bush era come to an end.\u00a0 I’m with them.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
