a rather wet today

Not surprisingly, spent my day watering plants.

What made today more exciting than usual was the hose being used was exceptionally bad, so it was pretty much wet tank top day on route 40, with extra special let's-spray-Dusti-in-the-face moments with varied leaks. Woohoo!

And then for extra measure, I fell rather dramatically. Which as many of you know isn't necessarily unusual - I have done great wonders in my life to support the theory of gravity. Still, full of suckage.

So, thoroughly soaked, I went over to MWB's house, pulled on an oversized sweatshirt I had in the hearse, dropped my pants, and watched "The Ark in Space." (And really, I think we're pretty much ruined for watching TV with anyone but each other at this point...we're fairly obnoxious with the MST3K'ish comments.)

All good fun, until I had to put my pants back on.

*shudder*

Wet jean shorts? Not a good time.

I'm here having these experiences so you, Gentle Readers, don't have to.

Flashback to a Philadelphia summer

My mother, Maura and I sat at Penn's Landing for an incredibly hot humid day of free music.

Sarah McLachlan, October Project, and Sonia Dada are the bands I remember most clearly..leaning over to Maura during a performance of this song, I think, as one of the singers did a fabulous backflip, and saying, straight-faced, "I'll bet he's awesome in bed," just to see the disapproving look she was sure to give me as a response..

Good times.

And oh oh, dragging friends like Sagie to see the Boxing Gandhis at the Middle East..
