Sooooo..... - Page 781

Yeah, the Pink Martini concert was great! I have seen them before - worked their concerts a few times and ran logistics on their appearance at the zoo last year. There's an addition this year - the Betty-tones - a male quartet singing backup for China. I know a couple of them - one is a buddy of mine.

The weather cleared before the concert, and it was a perfect night for it!

They play again tonight, then tomorrow is A Prairie Home Companion and the season finishes up on Wednesday with Cyndi Lauper.

When we were there for Swell Season I noticed the A Prairie Home Companion and I used that to fill Lani with horror by appearing to seriously suggest we should come back up for that.

Sooooo..... my kitchen looked really strange without the sink, so tonight that's improving since the sink now fits in its space. It didn't sit flat on the back, so we screwed it down.

Tomorrow: hooking up the drain, and tiling. I think. I'm hoping this only takes a couple of days. We pulled out the old drain pipe, and I see not only a longitudinal crack, but it crumbled when my friend's daughter pulled off a piece hooked into it. Good thing I bought a replacement!

Keillor puts on a good show but the little I know you and Lani, it's not your thing. There's more energy live than on the radio. I hope everyone who gets a chance to see Garrison Keillor live grabs it. He's our version of Mark Twain.

So, today I take a 30-minute drive to buy applewood-smoked bacon at the source. Other highlights: terrific onion rings at the local diner and a beagle kennel downwind of the smokehouse, no fooling.

I like Keillor (I remember fondly an advice column he used to do for Salon.com), it's just the show that doesn't do much for me (though I'll leave it on if we're in the car and Lani's asleep).

Lani strongly dislikes the show. Even more than Says You, which is saying something.

Then she must REALLY hate Whad'Ya Know.

Alex · 08-28-2010, 03:24 PM

Never heard of it.

At least for what's regularly on NPR up here, Prairie Home Companion and Says You are the only things she objects to.

For some reason, this conjured an image of you walking up to a pig and carving a chunk out of him.

I don't know why my mind goes to places like this.

So I'm sitting at my computer wondering why Lani is making so much noise in the kitchen.

Then I happen to turn around and see she's on the couch watching TV.

Go into the kitchen to find water coming up out of the sink, having covered the counters and well on its way to covering the entire kitchen floor.

Fun. Turning the garbage disposal on gets the water going back down instead of up but in the process I have to dig my hand through the waters and find lots of food that definitely was never ours so the water is definitely coming from somewhere else.

Advantage Renting: Once we got the water cleaned up all I had to do was call the management office and now I can go to sleep and not deal with it any more directly than that.
