The weather has been "unsettled" over the last few days. A couple of evenings ago we were treated to a beautiful pinkish light that washed across our yard, while above the clouds threatened darkly. The temperature has done an about face and is marching back down the thermometer. It has rained a bit, but mostly it just looks like it's going to. Yesterday was tax day and Willow's due date. We had both taken care of well in advance this year. That didn't mean we rested though. There are always kids and pets who need something. The new Rat snake seems to like crapping in his water dish. The not-quite-so-new Rat snake just shed his skin again. The Dickens rubbed an egg yolk into the carpet. Jen said it came up fine after she allowed it to dry. I went to Hidden Villa, the museum, and the paper route. Jen stayed home with the kids. Guess which one of us is more tired.

cds I listened to while yawning: Chu Ishikawa "Bullet Ballet" soundtrack, and "Ductile", David Maranha "Musica #2" and "Piano Suspenso", Stille Volk "Exu-vi", and Sleepytime Gorilla Museum at the Starry Plough, 3/11/00
