Wednesday, Day 27

This is a picture of the Volga boatmen:




The reason I show this picture is that it represents our painting progress. Hi ya ya nyet nun. Hi ya ya nyet nun. Day after day creeps by in its petty pace, to misquote Shakespeare. We mostly finished the trim, splotching the blue walls with white paint. So we must touch up the blue paint which will, in its turn, probably screw up the white trim again. And on and on ... This is the "Twilight Zone" of painting.


Tom took a break from painting to be our manual laborer at the bookstore. We had a signing so Tom came by at about 8:00 to put chairs away, move bookcases, and other chores. Now that's what I call fun!


We went out for dinner afterwards. Tom had pasta carbonara which is currently making him feel pukey. (I personally think he's preparing the ground to get out of painting tomorrow.)
