Today I applied Scott's Turf Builder to my lawns.
Of course, I'm hoping it will build turf. I'm really hoping it can build turf where there isn't any.
What do you think?

Took some food out to Neide again today. She's doing fine. Healing well after back surgery.

I lost 2.2 pounds in the last week. Hope I don't find them again. Life shouldn't have to be a constant inner debate--eating vs . . . whatever. But it is.

About a week after Wayne's funeral I was at Costco. Someone I knew from years before in Middleton came up to me. I couldn't even think of her name. She put her arm around me and said, "He's better off." Oh yeah? Why would you say that? And how would you know? Maybe it was true. Maybe. Probably she just wanted to say the right thing. And I know people mean well. But the right thing is actually not to say anything. The arm around me would have been more comfort without any words. In fact, her words felt like a slap in the face.

Why do I remember this just now? Because.
