Catching Up

Wow, another week without any content here.

I had such good intentions, so many good ideas, then I came down with some 24 hour bug on Sunday, so I spent Monday recovering, avoiding the inane wall-to-wall coverage of talking heads babbling about something Harry Reid said, and following the Proposition 8 Trial on Twitter.

By Tuesday I was well enough to rent a 14" chop saw, and attacked the back patio, opening two 4' x 6' holes for planter boxes. My part was cutting and breaking by sledge hammer, while wife washed and removed the debris (Roughly 2200 lbs).

Needless to say, by the end of the afternoon I was weary, and particularly in tune with what it takes to deal with concrete. Then the pictures started to show up of he devastation in Haiti. Block after block of entire homes turned to concrete rubble. I could feel the enormity of the disaster in my bones.

After that, it just didn't seem like any of the subjects I was pondering for blog posts mattered very much.

I'm not a doctor, or a nurse, nor am I trained in rescue, so I gave money to Doctors Without Borders and The Red Cross.
