  1. One of the discarded items wasn't the Charlie's Angels tee shirt, was it? (I fear that was a victim of donation or garage sale...earlier).

    I had no idea that Cedric Diggery was the Twilight dude! (Duh...I've been deck building so I got kinda dumb for a spell. Cedar, you see. It's intoxicating, like a love drug...)

  2. Sadly, the Charlie's Angels T-shirt was sacrificed back in March for a home hair-coloring experiment. But it was time to let 'er go.

    Cedar, huh? Perhaps next you could build us a portable deck off the back of the motorcycles, or something? Somewhere to grill would be nice.

  3. Done! I'm getting really skilled with my circular saw! Next, it'll be chainsaw sculptures at the state fair...I'm moving up. (You'll find me next to the pig races!)
