the first day of spring

Ah, spring. An excellent time to dust off the bicycle and get a haircut. If it doesn't rain too hard, I'm going to picnic in Marin, and ride my bike to the Farmer's Market with my young, bright-toothed housemate. If it rains, I'll stay home and hire handymen. Have a phone line specialist coming, and trying to find someone to refinish my kitchen sink. (Cheaper than a new one!)

Work is going well, I am happy to report. The Sun-IBM merger, rumored for so many years, seems to actually be happening. Hopefully, it won't throw too many folks out of work.

Image of the day: riding through the park this morning, I saw a group of 11-year-old, running at full tilt down the street. Scavenger hunt, perhaps?

Wondering if I can use stainless steel foil to "rejuvenate" a kitchen counter top. How difficult can it be?

My new dream: to become a slumlord. Anybody want to buy a chunk of Detroit?
