I finished mowing the lawn, cursing the whole time. It looks more like the aliens did a practice crop-circle run on it than like it has actually been mowed. We'll see if that's good enough.

Tomorrow I have to go to Florida to visit my mom. Wish me strength and a speedy-seeming (to me) return. At least my brother isn't there.
