A lovely one here, despite the wet Saturday. My folks visited from last Thursday to early Sunday and we crammed a lot in, including a few hours of volunteering at the Schenectady County Historical Society as part of Niskayuna's Community Service Day, a nice meal at my favorite Mediterranean place, Simone's, some shopping at a local plaza (Dad needed a jar opener that is more easily twisted), and some board games Saturday night. Historians, please note I won rousing games of both Rummikub and Hitster.

| Our Historical Society task was to write photo captions for their digital archives. We got bogged down in 1970s era shots of the Niskayuna Landfill's opening years, unfortunately. |

| Lincoln teaching Grandpa how to play Hitster. The lesson didn't really take. 😀 |
Sunday the weather broke and Carey and I got a lot done outside the house -- mowed the lawn, did some weeding, cleaned the gutters. I don't have a photo of it, but at one point Carey tossed a plastic wastebasket off the roof filled with vile-smelling leaves and muck right on my head. She blames me; I blame her. Sounds like a good marriage. Nothing a hose bath couldn't fix.

| My intrepid wife wouldn't let me get on the roof. I think because she knew it would be her head getting dumped on otherwise. |
