I found this newly thumbtacked to the wall of my son Matthew's bedroom tonight. Together he and I watched Michael Phelps win No. 8 the other night. Winning eight gold medals and making Olympic history is fantastic. But it's also pretty great to have eight-year-old boys pinning your picture to the wall above their bed because they take you for a hero.

Jeez, Scott, what are you trying to do here--pry all of us slackers off our screens and put us to WORK or something?? ; )
BTW, my daughter and I just massacred--with hand tools, mind you--two enormous overgrown bushes. I don't know if there was genius, power and magic in it, but there sure is one heck of a pile of lopped branches in the back yard, and a lot more light in the kitchen window.
Zoinks, sig - I'd have been happy if you two, or any combine of your choice, had managed to dispatch just *one* "enormous overgrown" Bush - but I guess for that, it takes more than a Village Green Devastation Sigsighity - it takes an entire nation's witness, striding in Courtly unison next January on its knightly Constitutional...
Oh, and I forgot to warn you, sig, regarding your use of phrases from the stanza from Faust, above:
Don't Goethe're...
I'll be here, all weak - try the canned ham...
Why would I bother with the canned ham when there's a fresh ham poised at the keyboard? Ba-DUM! ; )
I feel at once much better, and bested, i.e., you've both cured me and smoked me, even.*
*Mmmm, ham: must try in my sig-admired $1.49 wok from Goodwill, per cookery threads from earlier months...
