Ahhhh. Home sweet home. I just got back from a week in Georgia at Boy Scout Summer Camp followed by immediately turning around to go to Band Camp in Kentucky (I missed the first week so I had a lot of catching up to do, especially since this is my first year). I didn't have time to go on my laptop in between I believe.

Anyways, I finally asked the girl I've liked for a year and a half out, and let it be said that
A. I can't ask girls out since I don't really know how, so I just state I'd like to go out with them.
B. I still don't have a girlfriend, even though I wasn't exactly rejected.
C. Moms apparently hate it when their son's smart, likable friend suddenly asks their daughter out.

Back to band, our show this year is based on The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly- many of you have probably seen it. Tonight-after 2 weeks (1 for me) of practice- we showed the opening theme song and Ecstasy of Gold for our parents . I accidentally hit a Color Guard member's head during the performance. Earlier, I'd hit the Drum Major's tuba during a tricky set.

Dayum. Maybe you should switch to piccolo.

I could never get any sound to come out on a flute, let alone a piccolo.
I do play the second largest instrument in the Band- the baritone- so maybe that is why I keep hitting people.

If you accidently hit people with the baritone, what would happen if you played the tuba ... ?

Air catditioner?

There were two different times when a boyfriend had to build either a perch or a walkway for my cats. One time I had moved to a converted garage on someone's property. It was a nice conversion, and the house and garage were surrounded by a big fenced yard and garden. But, the people in the main house had a big dog. My cat got to roam free, but I felt she would want to be able to get out of reach of the dog if necessary. So my friend build a perch for the cat to climb up on just outside my back door. It was a ladder leading to a platform, built on the deck outside my kitchen window.

Another time, years later and a different cat and boyfriend, I had moved to the upstairs flat in a house, and the stairway was an indoor stair way. To make it easy for the cat to go in and out, my then boyfriend build a walkway from the upstairs window down to the roof of the carport and then a step ladder down to the lawn, also a fenced yard. Both of these worked quite well for the cats.

That's what this photo reminded me of--adapting your house to suit the cat's needs.

I'm surprised they'd let you do that to their rentals.

They was almost no impact to the buildings. My men are good with their hands and know how to do quality work. The landlords had no objections to what were, essentially, improvements to the property.

Apologies are an interesting topic Noomi. There are several types.

1. The courtesy apology. The automatic one we give out of politeness usually because we did some unintentional small thing.

2. The conflict avoidance apology. Given to smooth things over, even though you meant what you said and really haven't changed your opinon.

3. The heart-felt apology. This is the one for biggie's and has the best chance of being accepted. Often accompanied by a change in behavior.

In German, it's "Hüü, Pferdchen, Hüüü!!!"

Good on you Sarah. I am going to be stuck in all sunshine and 68° which means indoors, a cool and enjoyable 90° so I have to find another way to grab a good mood, as I will be here some of the day...

I love 68 and sunny. 90? Not so much, later on in the week we'll get a little cooler. Stick around, we'll cheer you up.

Once they go down that road, they can't make good decisions anymore. It's a shame.
