The Big DAY! Just a few more hours....

Naturally, I refer to the fact that tomorrow is "Talk Like a Pirate Day."

ARRRRRRR, Mateys !

Oh wait...it's also....WEDDING DAY!! Do you suppose Ardith and Justin chose the date on purpose? They didn't SAY anything about dressing in pirate attire, but maybe I should slip an extra bag of clothes into the car, just in case.

On another fun note, I read today that Daniel Jones, founder of the Jedi religion--yes, you heard me--was recently thrown out of a grocery store in Bangor, North Wales. Seems he refused to remove his hood, while shopping.

Like any good-n-crazy sect instigator, Mr. Jones is considering legal action.

A spokesperson for the Tesco grocery store chain had this comment:

" 'He hasn't been banned. Jedis are very welcome to shop in our stores although we would ask them to remove their hoods.

'Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda and Luke Skywalker all appeared hoodless without ever going over to the Dark Side and we are only aware of the Emperor as one who never removed his hood.

'If Jedi walk around our stores with their hoods on, they'll miss lots of special offers.' "

Back to reality, we continue our housal onslaught, today focusing on the bedrooms and a huge bleachy washup of the downstairs bath. Most of the kids have been let off school for the cleaning festivities.

I think they see this as an overall "win," although Carolyn was heard to remark, "I don't want to skip math..."

How sick is that?

I told her she could bring her Algebra 2 on the afternoon drive down to the rehearsal.

But getting back to slap-dash, home ablutions....OOooo, Melinda jumped in the shower, so I'll have to put off my malodorous chore for a bit. Maybe I'll just dust off the leaves of my houseplants, while I wait.

Shiny leaves are always impressive. They command respect. Amidst their glare, it is hoped our relatives will miss lots of special messes.

I trust.
