Late Thursday Night
by Zia ~ June 1st, 2006. Filed under: Ephemera, House.It’s pouring, just a solid sheet of rain. The skylight over my desk is leaking once again, even though Steve has attempted to fix it three or four times. One corner around the skylight is brown and bubbled with water stains. I was working a few hours ago and a huge chunk of plaster fell into the bowl I had on my desk to catch the leak. When Steve came home, I dragged him in to look at the damage — and he just shrugged and said, “I don’t even care any more.”
But there was a brief respite this evening, and Steve dragged me down to Lake Washington so I could help him practice his rolls. And o! frabjous day! he’s excited — he actually managed to get me in the kayak so he could teach me how to roll. (He’s been trying to get me to do this for four years.) Harry just sat there, his haunches three inches deep in the water, looking alarmed every time I went under.

I’m jealous that you learned how to roll. And for what it’s worth, I love your house. It’s got character.
