Crappity, Crap, Crap

Just to inform all of you, if you ever need to know anything about septic tanks or septic pumps, just come to me. I've learned a lot in the month of September about these things. May and June's topic was generators and how they hook up to your house. This month - the shitter tank.

What did you do today?

I drove Navarre to Lisa's. Jamie went to work. I stopped at Tim's and got a coffee because we have forgotten to buy more at the store for the past 2 days. I rapelled down a 23-story building. Yes, that's right - I, Leslie Falcone, rapelled down a 300 foot building today onone of the most gorgeous September days we've had in a while.

Here is 1801 Hollis. It's your typical mirrored glass window office building in a downtown. I actually smiled and waved at a guy sitting at his computer on my way down. I think he was saying, "Wow, she's nuts." I was saying that and "where the hell is the ground?"

When I was on the roof waiting my turn - side note: there was absolutely no traffice this morning. so, after my coffee from Tim's I went to the building and I was just killing time talking to all of the RAT International folks who ran the show - I took these while waiting (and avoiding the inevitable).

I actually stopped my rapell, took my hands off of my equipment and snapped this shot over my shoulder.


I did it. I can't believe I did it.

Blank walls make Leslie crazy!

I'm looking at the awesome pic I just posted, and my eye keeps being drawn to the huge blank, beige wall behind Navarre. I swear something will be on that wall by 2010.

Please, hold all of the comments re. how my going crazy is going to be a short trip. You're preaching to the choir.

Coal miner's daughter

I like a girl who keeps her options open. Will she be a ballerina? Will she a coal miner? We'll just have to wait and see.

Oh what a night

I don't think words can adequately describe how much fun I had camping at Dollar Lake with the 3 of us last weekend. Everything...everything was the best it could be. Navarre's first camping trip was definitely a success. I think her highlights would be meeting Mr. Lizard again after seeing him in Louisiana at Paw-Paw's, napping in the tent, and throwing rocks into the lake. I enjoyed everything - even our camping crepes.

That was only an inkling of the fun we had captured in pictures.
