Two entirely unrelated things

1. Football season has commenced. The Pack won last night, 10-7.
   Terrell Owens is a jerk, or at least his agent is a jerk and he's rubbing off on T.O. But to give the man a few props (T.O.), he actually is not a bad speaker, even considering everything he said in his interview at halftime last night pissed me off.
   Ahh, the controversies of sport: totally unimportant but able to cause a rise in blood pressure anyway


2. I mentioned that the Beast bought flowers the other day. So during the abovementioned interview, I took this photo of the actual flowers (and our fireplace) [sorry it's a little tippy; I wasn't holding the camera very still]:
   
   If you look really closely at the bottom you can see the top of a section of card catalog that is eventually going to be a coffee table. Because, yeah, I'm a geek.
   Right now, it makes a nice place to eat off of when we have company willing to sit on the hearth--we pull it out a bit.
   But anyway, them roses ar purty eh?

Right. Time to get started on my day. It thundered & lightninged in the middle of the night and we actually HAD RAIN. The yard may recover yet! And I have a couple of things I need to do today that can't be done tomorrow.
