(or how I spend my weekends in Lewisburg, PA)

#LotusKnows this is not Lotus related, but it's the weekend so I don't care.

As the old saying goes "Be careful what you wish for... you might just get it", this holds true for what is happening in my life right now.

Back when my wife and I first got married we lived in a few small apartments were heard saying "Someday we will have a house of our own".

"Someday..."

Then in West Chester, OH we bought our first "home" (an apartment-style condo) where we lived for 11 years. During that time we adopted our dog and said "Someday we will have a yard where she run on her own".

"Someday..."

Then we moved to Atlanta, GA where I began working for Lotus 911 (YEA!) and we rented a house that had a smal lawn, no kidding, it only took me 10 minutes to mow with my little 8.5 hp Craftsman special. Then we said "Someday, we will have a big lawn where the dog can run and we can enjoy it".

"Someday..."

Now we moved to Lewisburg, PA and "Someday" has arrived we got the big lawn for the dog to run and us to enjoy.... but it is big and the back yard has a hill on it that I have to wear golf shoes in order to keep any kind of traction on it.

And now my lawn takes me all weekend to mow and work on to keep it looking nice (yes still with my little 8.5 hp Craftsman special) which leaves me huffing and puffing and sweating all over the place (Diane, my wife, won't even let me sit on the new couch until I've taken a shower, and I agree with her!). So this happens each weekend.... every weekend. Hopefully it will get my but into shape and lose some of this weight (hey that rhymes.... I’m a poet and I didn’t even know it but my feet show it - size 15 - …they’re Longfellows.)

So again I reiterate, "Be careful what you wish for... you might just get it".

I now return you to your regularly scheduled geekdom......Later Yellowsphere!

OK, this kind of freaked me out the other day.

Just the other week I followed along with some tongue-in-cheek responses on Nathan's blog:

Then, a few days later I received this email at work.

Coincidence? I don't think so ;-)
