1000 pounds

That’s how much garbage I dumped this morning.

I am happy to report that our U-Haul truck came through unscathed.

Our housekeeper suggested we rent a big dumpster and do it that way. Doh! Why didn’t I think of that? Admittedly, we had way too much junk to fit into a single dumpster, but we have time to load and unload a few dumpster-fulls.

Some commercial flashed on a moment ago, something about a product that helps you control your child.

“. . . WHICH WE DESPERATELY NEED!” Karen said.

“You do,” said Jake, and I said, “No we don’t, we have you under perfect control.”

“You do not.”

I pointed at his computer. “Every day, you’re right there in front of the computer . . . which is just where we want you.”

Cue evil laugh.

Live-blogging tonight — I’ll shoot for 8 PM at the latest.

Tammy, I found you a great little housewarming gift. It’s not tacky kitsch, as I had hoped. It’s actually kind of nice. Don’t tell anyone — I have a rep to preserve.
