I went next door to ask my neighbor and would-be girlfriend Tracey a question and noticed that a mouse was building a nest in one of her bushes.

















As much as I would have liked to be at work today, I wasn't. I took a day off. The Sea Food King, Sea Food, Jr., Some Guy Named Bob and I played golf this morning. It was pleasant enough, but hot at times. My golf is improving, I have moved up from total embarrassment to a mere embarrassment. Incremental improvement. If I live to be ninety and my body holds up, I hope to achieve mediocrity.

This being a man of leisure has a lot to recommend it, I have to say. We had a leisurely lunch after golf and I came home and took a nap.

Late this afternoon we had a family meeting with Son Sneed and a psychologist from the hospital. They are working on an outpatient treatment plan to deal with his chronic depression. He may be released tomorrow afternoon.

One of my favorite things happened today. The pergola that we bought Saturday was marked down another $100 today. The Lovely Mrs. Sneed happened to be in the Costco store this evening and noticed the reduction. We dug up the receipt and hustled back to collect our $100 refund. Since I will soon be on a fixed income every dollar helps.

When we were in Las Vegas over the weekend we took in the Las Vegas version of The Producers at the Paris Hotel. We have not seen The Producers either on Broadway or with the national tour, so we have nothing to compare this version to. It is only 90 minute in length, without intermission, as opposed to the Broadway production, which is 2 hours and 50 minutes long including an intermission. It was enjoyable none-the-less. Productions in Las Vegas are always shortened up, but the prices are not.

Tomorrow is back to work. Only twenty one work days left. Yipee.
