hey, everyone. i wanted to type up something more interesting and relevant in an attempt to resurrect this series, but i'm stuck in meetings and typing this from my phone.
the main point here is to solicit volunteers for future months posts. topics can be on whatever you feel like (see previous entries for ideas). let me know in the comments, and we'll see up a schedule.
besides that, how is/are your little bugger(s) doing? Pete's goal lately is to climb to the top of the world.

The Milkmaid is gone as of last night for four days (which didn't dawn on me until about four hours before I had to take her to the airport...I'm occasionally poor with dates...). I look forward to finding out which little things I forget to do to keep operations running smoothly.

The apartment above us is corporately owned and only occupied about three months out of the year. The guy is here now, and he may as well be tap dancing in combat boots. These walls are so thin I expect his leg to come crashing through my ceiling one of these days.
