I tried out my new shower today and it’s pretty darn nice. There are high windows around and the bright, sunny weather just added to the fun of actually being able to use the shower for the first time. My sister was running in the neighborhood, probably on Leif Erikson, and she tried it out as well. The sad part is that one of the guys who worked on it just suddenly died of liver cancer. He was only 29 years old and was one of the guys who was doing the carpentry, something I haven’t complained about at all.

Besides that, I was doing the Mark Football Season Workout, keeping a chair in the bar from hitting the ceiling and curling 16 ounces. This is what I figured I’d have to do when I canceled my cable TV. I had an chiliburger and a pulled pork sandwich to round it all off. Hey, it’s the playoffs. Also, after hearing about the carpenter, I didn’t feel like sitting around and ordering pizza.
