Forget Going Private...

Thanks, guys.

I appreciate the comments everyone left, saying they'd like to keep on reading.

I'll admit my knickers were in a knot - my younger brother Dave said he was amused by how mad I clearly was - but after giving it some thought, and discussing it with Dave and a couple of other friends/family, I’ve decided I’m not going private after all. The person upset by some of the things I wrote wasn't someone whom I'd invited to read my words in the first place...so I’ve decided I’ll keep on writing right here and I will, as always, write what I damn well please. And if anyone reading this doesn't like what I write, there’s a very simple solution: stop reading and lose the addy.

Nuff said.

And that said, I guess I'll ease back into the water with a simple, mundane, Things I Did This Weekend

1. I pressure washed the deck outside my front door;
2. I mounted the medicine cabinets in my bathroom - the tile guy discarded the mounting bars, so I had to get new ones before this could be done (thank goodness for the 'net);
3. I put the trim piece on the cabinets in my bathroom;
4. I took A to Adair’s for Father’s Day, where we shared a pitcher of Shiner, had their fabulous cheesburgers, and listened to a bunch of C&W singers jamming on a Sunday afternoon;
5. I put the first coat of stain on the pressure washed deck (pics to follow soon)
6. I did laundry & ironed clothes while watching Father of the Bride (the original black & white) on Turner;
7. I made a big pitcher of ice tea (and the house smells pleasantly of mint).
