One Can Always Turn to Broadway!

We live in an old house with lots of hidden nooks and crannies and spaces between old plaster walls. As a rule, a good thing  UNTILL: some sort of animal dies somewhere in one of those odd little places AND you can't find it and it smells... bad... really..

And I have some sort of lovely intestinal unpleasantness that well... smells.

  And a jammed thumb from doing goodness knows what...

And it's cold and wet and muddy...

Take it away cast of AVENUE Q:

Donkey Washing Day

Yesterday was donkey washing day at Martha's house.

Nothing really to add to that. I do wish it was the first time I typed the phrase donkey washing day. But that really is a story for a less family friendly blog.

dinner....

( yes, for the most part, I do think about food, way more than most.)

life in Mendon.... pussywillow

1954 V 1979

The msm dutifully followed Senator McCain to his old high school the other day, Episcopal High School  in Alexandria, Va. Class of 1954.. ( not that there is anything wrong with that.. but damn!) He is coasting pretty well these days as the Democrats beat the hell out of one another. He is/was the darling of so many of the inside Washington media for so long, cause A) he had been there for ever and B) he is a genuinely nice /social guy. BUT he is , at least for now getting a big ole pass: {Example}

sidebar: to msnbc ( I know all of the lessers at 30 rock are big fans of the kyle+blog) GIVE RACHEL HER ON SHOW!!!!

In all fairness , here is Senator Obama's senior class page as well, Panahou School in Honolulu. I could not make it as big as McCain, so I am linking.
