Update: Our Family Truckster will be fully repaired courtesy of the insurance company of the dude who pulled out in front of the Petite Filet last weekend. Also, our plumbing problem is fixed – slightly below the estimated cost. Now, if only the PF will feel better (allergy/cold ick) in time for our wedding anniversary on Saturday ... if she doesn't, we'll do something special some other time. Thanks also for the friends-making suggestions. Wish I knew more people like you who lived nearby!
Not much else to say today other than "Have a nice one" and "Don't let the spiders bite your nose."

hoorah ! the world is good again
Um, don't let what?
Use the lemons to make honey and lemon drinks and PF will be better in no time!
You meant metaphorical lemons didn't you? D'oh.
Have good Anniversary dude! I won't bother to make any suggestions about how to celebrate...I think you have a pretty good idea. ;-)
happy anniversary! hope the PF feels mucho better soon.
