Fleh.
Today was one of those days where your list of things to do gets stuck at #1 when a 1-hour task turns into an all-day task. In brief, I've been installing a solar-powered light in my garden shed, which involved 2 trips to Ace Hardware as the kit came with the wrong mounting screws, and some ingenious application of tools to get through the tough, weather-hardened wood of the shed. I had a pile of stuff to do in the backyard before the next storm blows through, but it ain't gonna happen.
--------------
The old New Year's Eve gang is getting, well, old. Half the party pooped out before midnight Friday, and I was the only person who used the jacuzzi. The food was delicious - Ann & Marty even brought a Stout's apple pie from Willcox - and thanks to Pete & Donna I now have a copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in Spanish in addition to my Icelandic copy. Ironically, A&M were in Phoenix all week, except for Thursday night when they rushed home to feed the puppies, which I could've done had we been co-ordinated, since I happened to be in Willcox Thursday night coming back from the Chiricahuas.
-------------
I 've been watching the extended Return of the King DVD and, maybe it's just me, Aragorn's first reaction shot to the appearance of the Mouth of Sauron just cracks me up.

Sometimes you just gotta decide whether to keep playing music or get naked in a jacuzzi and for some reason (perhaps because it was fairly close to midnight) I opted to stay in and keep playing the guitar. Kind of a dumb thing to do 'cause since my heater's on the fritz I don't get to soak much these days. I think we need to organize a trip to Tonopah one of these days.
