Rob's Update: Watching the Zamboni
Week of 16-22 April
Greetings all
Been a great week here. Productive, with nice weather. I even did my first threshing of my lawn.
I'll admit it, I'm not the greatest groundskeeper around. I mow the lawn so the city doesn't fine me, and that's about it. I do keep adding mulch around the side of the house, but that's just to protect the foundation. I don't particularly care for gardening, though I do appreciate fresh tomatoes and cucumbers.
Oddly though, I do enjoy mowing the lawn. It's good exercise, so I count it as my walk for the day. I like it when I can knock two things off my list at once.
But it's the creating order out of disorder thing I really like. The exact same reason I love watching a Zamboni between periods. Chewed up ice becomes glossy and perfect. Very soothing to my soul.
By the way, let's go Blues
Quote of the Week
"There are three things in life that people like to stare at: a flowing stream, a crackling fire, and a Zamboni clearing the ice."
- Charlie Brown
