Here’s the first of my "best of Yetispeak posts" from March of 2004: March..time for resolutions I’d like to re-title it Retroactive New Year’s Resolutions. I laughed when I re-read it because I sometimes think I am such a big nerd for doing stuff like this…but it’s still funny to me. Most of the time…

Here’s a conversation I had with Anna today… Anna: [Says something she would describe as amazing which I mostly miss…] Me: [Feigning amazement] Are you s-e-r-i-o-u-s, Anna?

but our leak isn’t fixed (yet). The good news is that our 2nd floor neighbors seem satisfied that they won’t get leaked on. We now have lively blue tiles and dust on everything.
