I am continually surprised that one of the things about buying a house is that you have to take care of it. Taking care of the house, and the people who live in it takes up a lot of my time. For example, right now I am going to stop writing to empty the dishwasher and fold some laundry. Then, I have a few other house-related updates for you, some random musings, child updates, and dumps. That's the agenda. Take it or leave it.

We confirmed the presence of Extra Terrestrials and I shared some things I am watching, listening to and reading.

Did I pay off my student loans nearly seven years ago? Where do you stand on lawns? How do you feel about architecture? Can you identify the difference between umami and kokumi? Find out in this installment of the dumps.

What’s new? Details about my mustache (still growing), my teeth (recently repaired) and the flailing cruise industry. I mean what else could you want in something to read?
