We’re currently experiencing what’s known as either dogwood winter or blackberry winter, can’t ever remember which is which. Anyway, after having already been up around 90 already, 50s seem quite chilly. I’m back to wearing pants and my fleece jacket. But it doesn’t look like it’ll last long. Supposed to be back into the 70s today.
We’re getting quotes for a new roof. Ouch. I had two appointments for estimates set up yesterday. The first guy didn’t show up and didn’t call. Even if he does show up at some point, I doubt I’d work with him. I have this thing about keeping your word and being on time and plain old courtesy. The second guy was very thorough and spent about an hour and a half climbing around on our roof and then explaining all the various parts of the estimate, every ginormous dollar of it. I think it’s just one of those bite-the-bullet things, so hopefully before the end of May we’ll have a new roof and no more leaks. I’m waiting for another couple of estimates for comparison.
Okay, question of the day for you LOST fans — May sweeps start next week, and that means some good episodes leading up to the end of the season. Who is your pick for who is going to get killed off? Will the trend of one of the more minor characters continue, or will the shock value be upped and someone like Jack or Sawyer bite it? I’m leaning toward Michael (because how ironic would it be that he escaped The Others to get help to rescue Walt only to be killed when he went back?) or maybe Charlie (this would make me really sad, but think of the guilt Claire would then have). So, who’s your pick?

Now I have 3 Lost episodes to catch up on. Thank goodness for iTunes!

I remember hearing last year that Charlie was the only one who was “safe.” I hope they don’t kill Sawyer, or Sun and Jin.
As for the roof, I was thinking, won’t your insurance pay part of it?

I don’t think insurance will pay for a roof unless it’s damaged during a storm or by something else that’s covered under the policy, not just normal aging.
