Gotta love the internet...

At the festive family event yesterday, there was a football game on. (There's always a football game on at this particular festive family event.) This led to a conversation between me and my father as to how you say "holding" in French, and that led me to the Canadian Football League web site, and lo and behold, they had a page in French that lists all the penalties and the silly gymnastics the referees do to indicate penalties.

Fall is all well and good in terms of not being humid any more, but I really don't like the period between now and November (when the heat finally gets turned on) when I get out of bed in the middle of the night and get back into bed in less than five minutes and the bed is cold already. And the bathroom floor is freezing, and the bathtub is freezing when I get in the shower in the morning. Wearing shoes in my own personal shower is just silly. (Yet another reason why I want to move next fall.)

I suppose I should make a token effort at doing something useful this morning. I am at work, after all.

Well, so there. I found the other mousehole in my kitchen. There's a gap in the baseboard behind the stove. (Mutter mutter moving appliances at 11 PM mutter mutter...but I really don't want any more mice.)

The only problem is, I think I've got the mouse stuck in here, because he shot out from under the stove after I moved it and while I was stuffing the hole with Brillo, and I think he wound up back under the stove again, but I don't really have a clue where he went. Sigh. The best laid plans...(I only said that so all y'all didn't have to bother.)
