Guest room and two bathrooms upstairs, also the library and media room. Sadly, no way to keep the cats out of the media room ... so right now, it is one gigantic hairball. I do need to clean up there ... and soon!!

Guest room has nice four poster full bed, and a clawfoot tub in the bathroom. Also, a nice TV and DVD player. Movies are kept in the media room ... natch. I've got a networked internet connection up there ... (there is wifi too ... but the network cable is there if you need it), and bring your bathing suit and walking shoes (but watch out for the snakes).

That sound lovely. If it wasn't for the snakes, scorpions, spiders and other Texan fauna, I would invite myself along to help you paint things, Ricky.
Alas, I am not fond of arachnids and snakes, though like cats a lot. So Im probably happier in Northern Europe, where the spiders are smaller, and the scorpions non-existent

Well, if I ever get the house power washed and finish sealing all the floors, then I will FINALLY be able to spray around the house so that the scorpions and spiders will not be able to get in quite so easily.

And THEN, y'all will simply have to come out and visit!!

My father-in-law retired a while back after being with the same company for over 46 yars. Less than two months later he was knocking at my door wanting help in writing a resume to get another job. He was that bored (or just wanted to get away from my mother-in-law.)

So Mr. "I'm About to Retire", where will you be working next? Starting your own on-line bookshop? Designing Ricky's "trench warfare" constructions? Tending to ZeeZee's shum problem?Getting botox injections to play poker with Taylor and keep from"smiling" too much?

oooh ooh !! "tending to zeezee's shum problem", please !!!

GeoffC · 08-11-2008, 10:17 AM

all retirees are to attend to zee's shum problem at a time that is most convenient, after all retirees are supposed to be the baby-sitters of the generation....

vivaldirules · 08-11-2008, 10:20 AM

Perhaps they could show up with pandas for all of the SHUMS. Mass acutelation just might be effective here.

zelda_pinwheel · 08-11-2008, 10:23 AM

that sounds like an excellent plan to me. nobody has ever been tormented by loud pandas, to my knowledge, except perhaps for the occasional sneeze, and i really think i could take that in my stride.

this may be the best idea yet. yo, shums ! resistance is futile !!!

GeoffC · 08-11-2008, 10:25 AM

You want lovely pandas?

desertgrandma · 08-11-2008, 10:29 AM

Cute they are, but did you notice the teeth and claws? (shudder)

Don't get on the bad side of a panda!

Nice paintings. Couldn't help but notice that in "Flying Over Manhattan" painted in 2006, he has the twin towers standing prominently over the skyline. I wonder what statement he was making ... if any.

In rebuttal to this I will only refer you to one of Leonard Cohen's songs - "The Future" and what its says about children. Besides I already made a suggestion to ZP. And in addition, the only French word I know (but can't pronounce) is m--de.
