Dead Miller…just for flavor.

Cathy delivers the $1000 scholarship to Thomas Price.

Whatever possessed the dusty miller moth to commit suicide in my coffee this morning I’ll probably never know. However, I wasn’t awake enough or visually aware enough, so took a big gulp and then had to spew him/her out all over the front page of the Gazette Telegraph! Eeeeeeewwwwww! They may be harmless, but at 6:30 a.m. they can start the day off on a very ragged edge.

I have been paying  bills online through the bank for years, but have lately started going to  auto pay. Things like the telephone and utilities and several others just eat up too much time each month authorizing the check and checking that it’s been sent, etc. Now it’s just electrons talking to electrons. Makes a lot of sense.

I logged in the lab results for Cath which told us what we already know – she is very healthy and her numbers continue to improve. We have both been interested in this TED lecture: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fs7jqqdv5eg, and when I mentioned it to the gals in the Wellness Center at the hospital, they all chimed in, “Oh, you mean the Paleo Diet!” The upshot of it is we are ALL chowing down on lots more greens. BTW, my right eye MAY be starting to crawl up the come back trail. Fingers crossed.

I fixed Cathy’s watch this morning and power-washed deck and furniture in preparation for another coat of penetrating sealer and delivery of the new furniture. The sails look spectacular again, but Cath is still lobbying for another umbrella. Makes me want to jump off the deck on my head!

We went to the annual ONEN neighborhood meeting tonight. Cath was in charge of the scholarship committee and handed two $1000 checks to two VERY deserving young people.
