I wrote, I weeded, I finished watering the yard, I sprayed Roundup where no weeds or anything else should be growing (but not in the back yard where my gardening is basically organic).

(Yes, knowing I would hear a conservative bishop preach did have something to do with it.)

And now for a shower and off to party with family some more!
