___ Days since a lost time accident.

Thanks to Jay, Nathan and Chad, who hooked me up with the Normals covers. Much appreciated. And problem solved. (God bless the internets.)

My parents were in town for a couple days this week. I'm the second most clumsy person I know and I have very few skills related to home repair, so when my dad, who has very strong handyman tendencies, comes to town, I put him to work. Actually, sometimes he puts me to work, but whatever.

I've lived in this house a week shy of five years, and yesterday, for the first time ever, I went on my roof. We had to fix a couple shingles. It was pretty cool. I felt very manly. Everything looked different, which was to be expected, and I didn't fall off, which was not.

That's awesome man. Glad you made it back down.

Just remember, if you do start to fall, get flat and you should stop sliding.

I'll be getting on my roof tomorrow and Saturday. We need to reshingle the whole thing. You can tell it's been several years since it's been done.

You may think I'm crazy, but I'm looking forward to it. The nice thing about roofing is it goes fast, looks good right away, and you feel like you've accomplished a great thing in a relatively small amount of time.

The bad thing is that I'll probably have sore knees, a sore back and a sunburn by Saturday night.

Here's to hoping none of my friends and I fall off the roof!

My Nano shuffled me "Santa Barbara" this morning, and I shortly found myself singing at the top of my lungs, attempting my best falsetto, and smiling profusely. I have you to thank for that. What a great song and a great way to start my day.
