This Charming, Crafty Man
Everyone here has been sick, except me, as usual. I don't mean to brag, but I just don't usually get real sick. Except last year I had pneumonia right about now. While I was training for the indoor "race." No wonder I got beat by four other guys in my heat alone! And then this last week, when I was sitting still in my car, I hadn't hit a bump or swerved or moved in any way and I got this sharp pain in my lower back, right side, that felt like I was either punched or stabbed. I swear, it took the wind right out of me. I was driving along, panting in pain. Then it went away. Another family curse? Besides the grey hair, kindneystones? We'll see. I would hate that, though.
So my spare time project this week was to redo my geek lair. Gone are the piles and shelves. In is the new clean organization, the big old desk area, with the glow in the dark stars on its surface.
This is much cooler. Lauran complained a little, especially when I was painting at 11 o'clock, but if she hadn't made me watch all those damn TLC shows, this never would have happened.



And some details. Old bike parts. (I like the handlebars--it reminds me of antlers a hunter might hang up.) Odd old goggles, etc.
