01: brown spots in the bed - An unexpected downside to the cone of shame.

06: Thursday evening bustle - Discovering the Bleecker Street neighborhood west of 6th Avenue in the Greenwich Village.
07: state of southern culture - Watching Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.
08: three social even Saturday - Home, Rosendale, and Rhinebeck. Avoided square dancing, unavoided smooth jazz, and no Slayer.

13: experience not to exceed - Pseudoephedrine while I'm alone at home.

19: glazed catform - Installing glass and steps for the greenhouse upstairs.
20: better matches from the large field of rubble - Also, Mitt Romney in brownface.
21: absorbed by the vastness - BRAWL loses a lot of its usual energy in the boundless space of BSP.
22: open house at the seed libary - Afternoon and evening with some hard-core seed savers.
23: high R-value knee wall - Glum from a change in the weather, I start a new painting.
24: Shortcut from the Yardsale - I finish a big painting.
25: hauling drywall with a Subaru - I build a hauling platform in the Home Depot parking lot.
26: an actual use for duct tape - Holding unfaced insulation between rafters long enough for me to install a vapor barrier.

28: all mistakes are fixable - The joy of working with drywall.
29: interrupt-driven environment - Why interactive programming is only good for solving small computer challenges.
30: twice in the hailstorm - Things that happen while getting nutritional yeast for a noodle bake.
