It was a fairly good week here in Topeka. After getting over the fact that I'm old enough to have a kid in high school, the rest of the week went rather smooth. For a change I didn't have to go collect papi from the casino on Saturday, so we watched 300 instead. Wow! What a movie! I suspect the guys will like it for different reasons than the ladies though (admit it ladies, mostly naked muscle bound sweaty men swinging swords and defending liberty - you know you want to see it again :0 ).
Sunday, during the 110+ degree heatwave that Lawrence was experiencing (the temp on the clock at People's bank said it was 112), we worked on the back yard of the 5/8 pa. In the dictionary, right next to the term "pack rat" is his picture. I don't believe this guy has thrown anything away in at least the 20 some odd years they had lived in that house. There were those big trash cans full of odds and ends...mostly odds. Like the one filled with junk mail fliers. He was planning, he says, on recycling them. I suppose sometime in the next 20 or so years.
It was a long, hot day, but the two boys helped considerably, and they were mostly civil during the ordeal. Little Sister, being only 8, was not old enough to help. I'm sure she felt just terrible having to stay with her cousin and gramma and swim the whole day.
