short and dull

I am not feeling terribly articulate right now so this won't be a long, scintillating post like you may be coming to expect. ;-). Just a few highlights.

• T won second place in the destruction derby last night. Woo hoo! great job.
  
• He's really sore.
  
• Some drunken jerk spilled beer all over LT's shirt during the derby. He was fully traumatized, poor little boy. At least if he's that disgusted about getting "that silly nasty stuff" spilled on him, I don't have to worry about him drinking it anytime soon...
  
• Today I returned to the fair to spend a 4-hour shift in the booth run by our local pro-life organization.
  
• It was very, very hot.
  
• No more posts about the fair till next August, I promise.
  
• I finished reading Pride and Prejudice (which I enjoyed immensely) and got right into Sense and Sensibility (which I am not loving quite as much)
  
• Somehow the scale says I have gained two pounds. I have not been very careful over the weekend but I certainly have not consumed 7000 extra calories in three days, so it must be water or something. Who knows. The human body is a really strange thing.
