The Humans are Dead
We spent a lot of the weekend at Cameron's Robotics competition at RIT. Sadly, the team didn't do so well, but the kids looked like they had A LOT of fun. It's always a little surreal seeing Cam do the "Cotton-eyed Joe" dance knowing what we do about his reserved personality! We had a great weekend of company also as Sue's mom (my second mother; actually, she's tied for second with my mother-in-law Jeanne) came down to see her granddaughter, Lauren, compete. I like to remind Cameron that he was petrified of robots as a little kid.In other weekend news...
After Ma Bell left we got to work preparing the living and dining rooms for our painting project in late April (we'll be having the stairs, front entryway, living room and dining room painted). Bef
ore Jeff can paint, though, the wallpaper had to come down (there's that dastardly wallpaper again!), so Mark and I decided to try to save some $$ on the project and take it down ourselves. We were assisted by our angelic neighbor, Morey, and worked on the living room (only taking a break for dinner) for about six hours. Now, the paper is down (in the living room), and this week we'll work on the dining room. It actually was not very hard at all (thanks to Diff), and I have a feeling we'll proceed through the remaining rooms at a brisk pace to get that Godforsaken paper down. After the paper is down but before the painting begins, we'll be having moulding installed in the living room and dining room. It should be nice. Of course, there will be pictures!
