July 1, 1991

A crashing thunderstorm follows me home for lunch.  As I'm fixing myself a fajita, a bolt of lightning violently cracks the air.  I immediately jump out of my shoes and expect to hear the wailing of a terrorized Eddie.  He beams me one of his beatific smiles.  What a guy.  He knows no fear yet.

After the skies clear, I tie up the tops of the tomato plants.  The heavy downpour left them drooping precariously.

Andy and I go for our usual soda stop on the way home from daycare.  He wants to go to the park, but I prefer to stay home and watch the Pirates and Cubs on TV.  JoAnna gets back home around 8

Barb must think I have the morning off, because when I need to use the bathroom, she's taking a shower.  I am annoyed.  JoAnna leaves for work early, so I need to drive Andy to daycare and myself to Baraboo for the SCLS Advisory meeting.  I'm a few minutes late, but not enough to miss out on taking minutes.  I decide to work a split day since weather conditions are good for washing the mildew off the exterior of the house.  And here I thought I had taken care of the problem last year.  How disconcerting to discover its reappearance.  I spend most of the evening typing up the minutes for Advisory.  All these Dane County concerns.  JoAnna's not home when I return.  The boys are in the TV room watching baseball (Mets vs. Reds) with Auntie Barbara.  I feed Eddie and watch a different baseball game.  The boys are still up when JoAnna returns at 10:30.
