I inadvertently took spring break off from blogging.  It wasn’t my intention, but I spent the latter half of the week at a conference back up in the northeast, and I just couldn’t bring myself to post more “don’t want to be here, conferences suck” type rants.  The conference was productive, although all of the productivity took place outside of the panels and in discussions over lunch, dinner, the hotel bar, while drinking copious amounts afterward at the bar, etc.  The former involved stuff you wouldn’t be interested in, and the latter involved discussions of circumcised pigs.  (Long story.)

Anyway.

While I was gone, Ray made the bold and decisive move that this weekend we were going to refurbish the front door, paint it blue, add hardware, etc.  Ray normally has visions of home improvement projects that are grandiose, and his singular choice of blue was almost unprecedented (when we pass from this earthly life and are buried, one of us will have an epitaph that says, “Where do you want to be buried?” and the other will say, “I don’t know, where do you want to be buried?”).

So, here is the “before” shot:

… and here is the “after” shot:

Not bad for a few hours’ work, if I do say so myself.  Which I do.  So there

Hope your weekend / spring break was fun and exciting, and full of kosher food from the house of Genghis Cohen!
