Had a great Mother's Day. Got a cute Star-Wars-themed card from Lex and the Peanut, and a lovely card from Monstro with a certificate good for one day of heavy lifting and garden mucking. Great stuff! Monstro and the other men from church cooked a Mother's Day brunch for the congregation, and his chile egg puff was the first dish to get all eaten up. When he was still at church cleaning up I called Fringes and we had an on-the-same-page "to the punctuation mark" conversation, which was just as awesome as I knew it was going to be (and I'd set a pretty high bar, let me tell you). After Lex woke up, Monstro cooked us some dinner -- we had our first barbeque and our first corn of the season. Great, great, great. And then we watched Friday's "Battlestar Galactica," which made us happy we'd taped "King of the Hill" to watch afterward.

And now I have to go buy a new power cord for my PowerBook. Bye!
