Well the cellar is no longer floating…

…and we’ve cleaned out about half of the cellar, likely we will finish it tomorrow, it’s in pretty bad shape.

That’s going to be a most of the day affair tomorrow but with a fair sized crew it shouldn’t be an issue.

The actual damage isn’t so bad, we had some furnace work that needed doing but the price damage isn’t prohibitive. .

However there was one big scare when wife fell down the stairs. She is very sore and bruised but otherwise to the best of our knowledge unharmed. (I however lost a year of my life seeing it happen).

So blogging will be so so, tomorrow, but then again I didn’t expect to do much blogging today either but still managed to get a batch up.

Foot of water in the basement, blogging will be a tad light…

Went downstairs to add water to the furnace and found that nature beat me to it adding a foot of water to my entire basement.

So blogging will be lighter as I start with the buckets and the maybe grabbing a pump.

Update: It’s amazing how unimportant politics is when you have a cellar to clean out.

Who is that guy without the beard?

Sans beard

Just back from the Barber shop today got a haircut and had the beard shaved. My son snapped a shot with his camera phone.

I had actually planned on shaving it Friday evening so I would have a totally different look on the last day to confuse everyone, but thanks to a long but very enjoyable conversation I ended up missing the Metro and instead entered my gonzo period, thus the razor and the shaving cream went untouched.

Of course if you were reading in the Scott Brown Campaign days there were beardless shots of me all over.

Update: Want to weigh in on the beard? There is now a poll

A quick FYI post

People who have known me for years might be aware that one of my abiding faults is being slow on my e-mail, so to all the people who have e-mailed etc, I’m going to ask some indulgence since I have a WHOLE lot more to deal with than usual.

Today I have the cable guy coming to take care of the connection issue upstairs, some stuff for the Planned Parenthood fight to do, a K of C ceremony where my oldest will be joining.

I’m still got some straightening up to do around here and I ended up a little sick once I got home.

I have a lot of CPAC stuff still to go, interviews, photos and some writing that I plan on doing on what I saw and heard.

And of course there are the bills (we are on year 6 of my turn on the 16 year bill cycle) that I have to make sure get taken care of not to mention my search for that elusive $800 a week job, my drop dead date is getting closer.

So there is a lot to do and not really enough of me to do it, but we’ll manage.
