Today I feel like there aren't enough hours in the day (and yet I find time to post on estrip--I know).
I also am thinking about our church's budget. And that would be easier if there was more money.
Of course, I know that we have exactly the right amount of time AND money, and we just have to make the choices to use them both well.
And so, when I get home tonight, around maybe 9 (after SIX separate, unrelated meetings in one day, plus too many phone calls and stress about programs and money, starting at 8am and including a lunch meeting), I will not think about this stuff anymore, and focus on relaxing with my wife.
Then we will start again on Wednesday (which should have a more normal pace)

My pleasure. Hope you had a good time.
And I need to get that book to you. I would feel bad for forgetting it, but it was 5 in the morning.

Hope you both had a great time. There is so much to do there that sometimes in can be tough unless you go for a certain reason Like a sporting event, or play or something like that. Once you make a video you should post it here or if not at least give us a link to it.

I hope you enjoyed the visit! Toronto is one of my favorite cities. I've worked and lived there, hung out there only on weekends and miss it the longer i stay away from it. I am very interested in the perspective of someone who visited for the first time!!

They Might Be Giants!!!!!!!!!!!Category: joy
Nov 16 I are am going for sure. Two non-estrip friends are, too, but (e:janelle) has something lame. I am extra-geeky-spazzy happy.
AND it is on a friday, so I can party and not worry about the next day. ((e:janelle) will be there for that)
I AM SO VERY HAPPY.
Everybody on estrip should go. every. last. one. of. you.
Johns Flansburgh and Linnell rank right up there with Jesus, Bono, Tina Fey, Roberto Clemente, Tina Fey and Matt Groenig. Here's a sample
They didn't even write this song, but they certainly made it their own. At this show they will have a full band and be plugged in and awesome.
To me, a great test of how good a song is how well it can be played on as you as possible instrumensts. Here they are with a voice,a bari sax, and a stick
One more, so you can here them with a band:

I heard John Lanell on NY public radio once. He asked for people to call in to request songs not written by him.
He played Smells Like Teen Spirit. He didn't know the words so he just sang "Blah blah blah"
Then he played a prince song. I can't remember.

10 Things I like about doing laundryCategory: 10 things
1. It gives me a chance to check up on the dehumidifier.
2. At the end, I have clean clothes.
3. The dryer makes my clothes warm.
4. It takes a while, so I can read, surf the internet, or watch tv, even though I am "doing chores."
5. Now, it doesn't require quarters or a drive.
6. Using cold water makes me feel slightly less environmentally destructive.
7. Cleaning dryer lint.
8. The removal of dirty clothes makes the room cleaner.
9. The cleaner room makes my wife happy.
10. A happy (e:janelle) means a happy (e:drew) (as long as he doesn't have to fold too much)

cold water also prevents cloths from shrinking and colors from bleeding.
AND it is the environmental choice! How sweet is that?

I hope some day to join the elite club of those who can do laundry from the comfort of their own dwelling. I'll know I've made it in the world when I finally own my own washer and dryer.

Nice video thanks for posting it.
It looks like you had a swell time.
My salad spinner was $15 at Target. Its used value it $2. And if you have known the non-salad things I have spun in there you wouldn't want it.
Looks like you guys had fun. Its always a sign of a good neighborhood when there are duck carcasses hanging in the window :)
Congratuations! You win (e:James)'s salad spinner.
DIWALI!
I really miss Peter Jennings
Wait till you get on the 401 in Toronto, makes the Queen E look like a parking lot
