the more i think about it, the more i don’t want to pay for this website anymore. it was fun while it lasted, but i don’t need to spend $100 a year to write stuff every other month. i can do it for free on blogger. so after i back up all the files and find a decent way to export the posts, i’ll be pulling the plug (approximately 6-4 weeks).

and, no, i’m not doing facebook.

we’ve been talking about buying a basic above ground pool for a while. we finally ended up doing it, but just buying the pool is not enough. we had to rake/clear a spot in the backyard for it, which took several days and produced many blisters. then the actual setup of the pool and the filling, which took almost 4 hours. but it’s in, it’s wet, and it feels so nice to just float around looking up at the palm trees and blue skies. occasionally, i’ll swim over to the lemon tree and look up at the nesting morning dove trying to keep her babies safe.

now, i need to figure out how to balance the water out, because i put way too much chlorine in last night.

give me fuel, give me fire, give me that which i desire

hoo! yeah-heh!

i would work every day of the week if i only had to work one hour a day. it would be a great job. the doors open, everyone rushes in like it’s black friday, but they have a little more sense than walmart shoppers (enough not to trample each other like a herd of spooked elephants). there is an overall feeling of urgency and purpose, but when the doors close after that hour, it’s all over. the rest of the 23 hours are mine to do with as i please. oh, what a world that would be.
