Diary 2/23/14: Ordinary Day.

[title type="h5"]Sunday, February 23, 2014. Everybody Has An Ordinary Day. [/title] It rained buckets in the past two days, and it will rain bathtubs tomorrow. (When you keep a daily journal and fall a few days behind, you can see the future from within the diary's time.) But today it didn't rain at all, allowing me to take my would-be daily amble around the Cool Water Ranch. When I find myself with free time--surely, it will happen someday--I will build three small footbridges crossing spots on my route that become flooded in weather like this. Mary Ann has decided that since The Boy is coming with us to Europe in April (partially on our nickel), she can commandeer his free time. He is an industrious guy, and he did a fine job of trimming back the bushes in the back yard. After that, MA will have him pounding fence posts into the ground so we can finally have a corral for the dogs Susie and Barry (a.k.a. Steel). We need something to limit their wanderings in the neighborhood while we're away on the cruise. They won't like it. After the young people departed for the South Shore, MA and I supped together at, where else--Zea. Corn soup (crunchy and corny good, just a little cream, a little too thick), followed by a house salad with the sesame vinaigrette they make so well, and the tuna stack--as enjoyable as ever. No entrees in that melange, but I still left quite full. I'm not sure MA ate anything at all, which would not be abnormal for her. I started editing down the hour's worth of audio we recorded with Jay Nix and Justin Kennedy at their Parkway Poor Boys. It's the prototype of what I plan to be an audible add-on to the web site. Looking into the future again, I see that a week hence the project is finished, and can be taken for a test drive here.
