Friday

All this rain has provided us with interesting mushrooms.

I am a foolhardy  person…but not where mushrooms are involved. But, that one does look pretty tasty. Sort of “pumpkin spicy”.

Foolishly went to yet another committee meeting here at The Asylum. Me the person who regularly told my bosses that “I don’t get paid enough to go to meetings”. Me who told consulting clients that my hourly rate was outrageous and my go to meeting rate was twice that.

Went to a meeting. The Grounds Committee. The high point was when the oldest member of in attendance announced that she was sending the Ground Committee rules on the “The Executive Committee”. One of the rules includes a discussion of pet burials on the grounds. She wouldn’t say if it was allowed or not. Seems to me it is a “don’t ask – just do it under cover of darkness” issue.

There is a persistent urban legend that  Barnum and Baileys circus camped in our neighborhood. And that an elephant was buried near or on our property. Which makes the “pet burial” thing even funnier.

There was also a discussion of planting determinate vs indeterminate tomatoes. And the location of a library. That was after an hour and I ran screaming from the room.

I did promise to make them refrigerator magnets.

Rather nice don’t you think. Let us see if they can agree on what the magnets should say!
