I'm so sorry, Sharon and Sharon. Hugs to both of you.

We went to PF Chang's, in Annapolis for dinner. Not on our way home but I had to get a refill for my meds and the pharmacy at the hospital center already has it on file. Anyway, to get to the restaurant, we have to walk passed Sur La Table.

Being $50 off, this followed us home.

There is something to be said for a great knife. I rather hope the Buffer got fixed yesterday. But it is what it is.

I got several parts of the official permits for my house. Preliminary work will start on Monday. Yea!

My friends signed the lease on their brewery space last night.

We haven’t 100% figured out my role in opening, but they have me every Tuesday night for the foreseeable future.

Is the permitting process difficult there? Here it depends on your location. Different states, counties and cities, can be a bear. We were fortunate that our house was built in an an unincorporated area of the county. The only permit we had to get was the one for the septic tank, which was a joke.

Hmmmm, friends with a brewery. Heck yes, I volunteer to help them.

****! Without the Buffer my day was brutally short. A bit more than 3 hours.
Sold my box of pennies to Trish. But it's too early to hit a bank. I'm thinking of going down to Cleveland because I've never tried their banks.

I hope everything works out smoothly. I was originally a third equal partner (and 90% of their brewing skills are a result of my instruction and help, haha), but I made a decision to step back. I'm not sure what their total investment is to date, but with my two children, my job instability last year, etc, I couldn't promise that I could keep up financially. They have some things at their disposal that I don't -- namely, their parents paid for their college (my wife and I are still slogging through student loan debt), and they don't have kids. I've been consulting in places I can, but ultimately, they did an amazing amount work to make things happen so far. They still have a long ways to go though.

Thanks everybody. My cousin and his wife had already moved to the farm where she still lived after they built on an addition to the farmhouse. So I think after she fell and broke her hip and being in assisted living for a few months there's already been time for some of the grieving and adjusting.

I hadn't seen my cousin last time she was here, but even my brother who saw her I guess within the past year asked where she was, he didn't even see her or recognize her. She had an early diagnosis so has had early treatment, and it has affected her gait but she really is walking pretty well. She's quite thin and lost the natural fullness to her face. I didn't realize it was her til she started talking.

Today I'm just worn out. My brother dropped me back at home since I live 10 min. from the funeral home (and figured I wouldn't be able to do all that tromping around to go out to the cemetary) but still - I am so tired! My hip and thigh were achy last night but OK this morning. The standing is harder than walking.

Buenos Dias Hosers. Mary Lou, Maggie and Gary just finished a Danish breakfast in Solvang.

These things really take it out of you; take a well-deserved breather.

So far I am quite pleased with the box of pennies I got in Cleveland.
Now going to go back through a copper roll or three.

I build in the center of a city destined to grow from 320.000 to 420.000 people within the next 20 years.

Germany is totally overregulated. Some things make a lot of sense, many are way over the top.

I have to pay people to search for Roman remains!
I have to pay people to search for airborne mammals!
We have a next to absurd fire regulations!
We have a next to absurd environmental regulations!
