at the old stand

I have returned home to Claudia's, making the long, long trip across the yard, accompanied by the vitamins I'm no longer supposed to take, the frozen lentil soup, the paint-covered overalls, and all the unpaid bills that seem to dog my footsteps. But not, apparently, accompanied reliably by my e mail on either my computer or my iPhone. And the hunt for the Great Gas Leak goes on, more urgently now that I'm the one smelling it in my bedroom.

  1. Hard move.. although I am in Boston and it is VERY wet, so it might be a soggy move! How do you get to stop taking vitamins?

  2. Find out how big the rock is.. I think you need to know! Or clear out further around it and embrace the rock if it's huge!

  3. Well, you're not far away if you want to come dig!
    But yes. Very wet. No digging today or tomorrow.

  4. And alas, another large study indicating that certain vitamins are hazardous to your health.

    Breakout

    Take #2 shovel
    cut surrounding soil to 2'-6"
    below grade

    Now we whirl:

    Call the Campfire Girl

    Build a good wide flame
    atop this rock
    (so named)

    Run 'er good and hot,
    send the kid for a pot

    When cold water hits the brim
    it's time to send it in

    Dump the whole schmear
    top o' rock--right here!

    John-Henry that sledge
    and blast the ledge

    Where I bin to travel,
    We can now call it gravel

  7. Uh....I was just going to say "Welcome Home" but now that feels inadequate what with all the fancy drill talk and all...
