Ho Hum

Nothing interesting has happened to me.

Now, some rational people (I include myself in this group most of the time) would find it rather snobby to waste blog space to tell people, essentially, “Sod off. Nothing to see here.” Unfortunately, I have some blog readers who insist on my updating my weblog at least semi-monthly (how irrational!).

So here goes:

Dimitri was on a fishing trip with his uncle and his uncle’s church. Every year tens of dozens of Greek men happily drive up to Strawberry Bay outside of Sal Lake City to catch illegal fish and hide them from the fishing wardens. Copious amounts of beer are drunk, innumerable liters of methane are expelled, and fun is had by all. (Apparently, anyway. My sensibilities tell me it’s a weekend of farty-fishy-beer-burp-smelling-men, something I could easily do without, thank you.) Dimitri called me on Friday to let me know that the only thing he had caught was a seagull. I tried to make an Albatross joke, but it went over like a lead anchor.

Speaking of anchor, as Dimitri tried to send the anchor over the side of the boat, his glasses (in their usual spot-hooked in the crook of his collar) caught on the anchor and went overboard. We spent Monday in the Optometrists office getting a new prescription for fish-proof glasses. Dimitri flirted with the eye doctor and I got a kid’s sticker that said “I have TOAD-ally great eyes” (two guesses what animal was on the sticker.)

Today is dedicated to weeding, cleaning, and going to the gym. We might go to a movie tonight. I have to write a response to a loved one’s overly-emotional email, something I’m not looking forward to (and have managed to put off for about a week now).

In the end, drivel. Does anyone have a good site to go to in order to find decent blog ideas?
