What I did this weekend
1. Great dinner with friends on Friday night.
2. Got out the leaf blower and cleaned off the driveway, deck and graveled area around the house. By the time I was done, the driveway was covered in leaves again. Oh well. At least there are fewer.
3. Went to Sam's Club. As my friend with me said, my purchases screamed bachelor: hamburger patties suitable for grilling, big boxes of Mini-Wheats and Minute Rice, a case of motor oil, a three-pack of spaghetti sauce, a three-pack of canned hams, and big bags of paper plates and plastic cups. I think I can make it to spring.
3. Cleared out the brush on the front of the investment property. Steered clear of the poison oak. Cut down four trees or so. Put the chain back on my chain saw.
4. Watched the White Sox win the AL pennant; something that has never happened in my lifetime.
5. Had a great pot roast dinner with friends.
6. Went to both Catholic and Evangelical services on Sunday. That was a lot of church. At the second church, God said to me, "Didn't I just see you at Mass? You're not fooling me, you know."
7. Blogged.
8. Received naughty limericks via email from friends after they read the Vogon Poetry entries. FTR, both entries were submitted by computer [experts] and they both wrote far better limericks than I can.
9. Saw Sahara, a silly but entertaining movie, purportedly about Mali. It was entertaining, but had a small verisimilitude problem: overweight, [relatively] light-skinned, English-speaking Malians. The cast mostly looked like Nigerians who've lived a long time in the West to me.
10. Laughed at the following joke: Two cannibals are eating a clown. One says to the other, "Does this taste funny to you?"
UPDATE: The above post was edited to increase sensitivity to our technically proficient readers.

Mebbe I 'll get to correcting the typos. But do you have any idea how many typos there are on this blog? Gazillions.
