Andy Rooney on "Women over 40"

As I grow in age, I value women over 40 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why:

A woman over 40 will never wake you in the middle of the night and ask, 'What are you thinking?' She doesn't care what you think. If a woman over 40 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do, and it's usually more interesting. Women over 40 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you if they think they can get away with it. Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it's like to be unappreciated. Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 40. Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 40 is far sexier than her younger counterpart. Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off if you are a jerk if you are acting like one. You don't ever have to wonder where you stand with her. Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed, hot woman over 40, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year old waitress. Ladies, I apologize.

For all those men who say, 'Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?', here's an update for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage. Why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage!

Floooooooorr?

so, i found the greatest floor guy! before my floor was, well, how should i put it....well used. 15 years of my friends and i using it as a floor...or a hocky rink, rock climing landing, sit and spin, dance floor, stock room, banquet hall...well, you know what i mean. If you want to see what it used to look like, tough. I burned all evidence of my misdeads!

here is what it looks like now!






The entrance from the Garage!


















From the kitchen...
















From Upstairs...










From the Cat's point of view:

Help us help them...

construction-struction, what's your function?

i've done it now. i have begun the stage in the evolution of my condo. It's a lot like the big bang, really. It started a long time ago and progressed quickly at first and then...it arrived at a steady state. Well, not quite steady state, but a period of time when the changes were not as drastic as the early shift from the primordial atom to the rapid expansion of space-time/painting-decorating. So, I have once again begun the journey into, not only house sitting 2 cats, but also "nesting". As you can see.

there are a cornucopia of pics. Here are two...the rest are located at:

I've decided that this is NOT the place to begin posting such "cool stuff". See Flickr for photo shoots.
