Tree fort nigh onto complete. The monkey bars are all done. I really just need to post and assemble the roof (which I'm currently figuring out how to do) and then make a satisfactory way of getting up into the thing. I made a ladder that I already don't like. Maybe I'll go back to the drawbridge idea.
The weather took out power just long enough yesterday to mess up the VCR, so we couldn't watch yesterday's record seventh stage win by Petacchi in the Giro d'Italia. Ended up watching a little movie we'd seen years ago and had always wanted to see again, "Niagara Niagara," a mostly sad tale of a girl with Tourette syndrome. Perfect movie for IFC. I actually liked it better the second time through, and thought Robin Tunney was amazingly believable in the lead. Mysteriously, the film was shot around Poughkeepsie, though it was set in western New York. Guess they blew the entire location budget on the final scenes around Niagara Falls.
Current book: "Rowing to Latitude: Journeys Along the Arctic's Edge" which I've thought about reading for a while but which Lee picked up for me on a NYC trip.
Question: what's the correct response when your wife, who has never done such a thing before in your 25 years together, announces to you that she has named her breasts "Trinny" and "Susannah," in honor of the hosts of BBC America's "What Not to Wear"? 30 words or less, please.
