D'you want to know the worst part about living alone after six months of being used to having your buddy here? You've got to wake yourself up off the couch at bedtime. There's nothing to stop you from lying there letting Jon Stewart lull you to sleep, unless it's another mystery project. We've had the tradition of completing one major project every time the other one has been gone for a business trip. So far I've been the one here both times. When I travel for some training in the end of March, I expect to come home to see a hot tub in the basement.

You think it's spring? A few short weeks ago we finished construction on the Pyramid of TuttenMommen. Six feet of snow and four tomb robbers later, it's a masterpiece. Probably now, a foot-tall masterpiece.
