"It was once said that the moral test of Government is how that Government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped."

After several weeks of sweaty labor in this outrageous heat by numerous talented general contractors and painters, the long overdue major repairs and face lift on our house are complete! (I have no doubts that our neighbors are as excited as we are!)... not to mention our new mac-daddy party deck ready for grillin' and chillin'!

Now if only the temperature would drop 30 degrees and the pesky flies and mosquitoes would die off, perhaps I could enjoy it... Woohoo!

Somebody please tell me again why on earth I moved back to North Carolina???

"The idea that leisure is of value in itself is only conditionally true. The average man simply spends his leisure as a dog spends it. His recreations are all puerile, and the time supposed to benefit him really only stupefies him."
