Well... the day went well. I got the bills paid, and I got Mikey's room partially cleared out... turns out that it's more than one day's work, even for a cowboy like me! 
I got a lot of that done, and I did get the bills all paid. 
Sky CaptainCathy was freaking out that someone we know would see our lawn not mowed, so I had to take Hannah over to Meme's house for a while so that I could mow. Meme has acquired a boarder... an afghan hound named Sky Captain. So anyway... I never did get to watch the show I wanted to watch, but I did take in a few interesting science shows on National Geographic Channel. One was called Accidental Genius and it was about what are called "savants"... people who have extraordinary abilities due to brain damage (like Rain Man). Then I watched an episode of Naked Science called "Alien Safari"; that was all about the possibility of life on other planets in our solar system (turns out there might be simple life forms on quite a few planets and moons). Cathy and Mikey had a great time today; they're sleeping out in a tent tonight! Hope they keep warm; it's supposed to dip down into the upper 30s tonight. Brr!
So, anyone reading this has gained a huge amount of insight into the life of a modern dad whose wife is out of town for the day. Probably more than you ever wanted to know. Why I felt compelled to blog twice today, I'll never know. One of the savants has a compulsion to paint pictures of his head on all the walls and ceilings of his house, so maybe I'm brain-damaged today. Ha!!!
