Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

The Kitchen

 So, it's Thursday and the clouds are still here, it's not raining, however, so I guess that's a dim bright spot.  Tomorrow, things will be a little brighter.  Partial sunshine will do that, however as we move into the weekend rain showers and possibly a soaker or two will move back into the region.  Temps will spring into what are consider normal highs and lows for the season. 

One of the things that's bothered me about my trip to Greece was the return flight.  Having to wait in Madrid for 13 hours before my return flight to the states was irking.  I'm not a sitter, or waiter, and having to do so weighs heavily upon my impatience.  Doing nothing.  Ugh.  And since the layover was from 11 PM until 12 the next day, it wasn't as if I could leave the airport and take in a single, solitary sight.  So, I revisited the return flights and discovered that if I left Athens at 0830, I could be back in the states on the same day.  Realizing this, I had no problem in changing my return itinerary.  Now, I'm leaving Athens at 0830, and flying to Heathrow, where I'll have a 4 hour wait, until flying to Philadelphia.  Believe me, cutting out that 13 hour layover turned out to be such a relief.

Here are two pictures of my new, old kitchen.  I still need to put the quarter round down, and there are a few touch-ups I need to get the paint brush out for, but otherwise it's finished.  I'm pleased with the way it turned out.  The flooring is Lifeproof, Chelsea Pond and, as I might have expected, it's a color that is no longer sold.  Good thing I bought 2 extra boxes.



John Eastman was disbarred yesterday, or at least a judge ruled that he should be disbarred.  He's a Trump zealot, who was once a law clerk for Clarence Thomas.  Now tell me, doesn't that make perfect sense?  

And even though there's a gag order on the Orange Anus, he's still spouting out his hatred, aiming his attacks at those involved in his porno trial whom he thinks the most vulnerable.  He will continue to do this until he's actually punished.  That's the only way his attorney's might convince him to shut his mouth.  In my opinion, that would be outstanding.  He's always believed his words and actions are above consequence.  Wouldn't that be a delight, having him handcuffed  and taken to spend a night in jail?

  1. Your kitchen is lovely. Wish I could say the same for my still-ongoing bathrooms!

    1. Thanks.

      A long, long time ago I'd thought of buying a fixer-upper in France, what dissuaded me was the fact that you needed to rely on local tradesmen and they weren't always timely.

  2. I'd like to see him perfectly gagged, in Cell Block Q.

    The kitchen turned out nice.

    1. I'd prefer gagged and in isolation, that way even the walls wouldn't have to listen to me.

      Thanks. It's difficult to believe that kitchen is 118 years old.

    1. Thanks! My legs did pay the price for that floor, but it was worth it.

  4. Love the kitchen. Love that window!
    And layovers are a NIGHTMARE. I once stayed six hours in Seattle and it was not pretty.

    You know that Don Poorleone just cannot keep his trap shut. It'll be his downfall. Let him whine.

    XOXO

    1. My house is south facing, so I get direct sunlight in the side window during the day, and in through the back window in the late afternoon.

      And while his minions love his whines, the rest of America is growing fed up with his constant horseshit.

  5. What always does me in is the jet lag once back....going back in time. Hence why I like direct flights....cant stand lay overs.

  6. The kitchen looks fantastic, Dave, and great news on getting the long layover reduced to a few hours. Greece is on our to-do list and I can't wait to hear all about your trip.

    1. Thanks. As I've said, I struggle with impatience; get it done, and get it done now.
