Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

Can We Build It? Yes We Can!

Nothing unique.  Just a small slice from the life of Buster (a.k.a. Bob the Builder), father of a college student and volunteer pool "janitor".

In the past four days, I have put together a desk, a chest of drawers, a bed frame, a futon, a 6-burner gas grill, and a chlorine pump.  Some assembly was required.

The 4-drawer chest involved 42 different parts, not including knobs, nuts, bolts, screws, etc., and an inscrutable set of directions.  Forty-two!  For a stupid chest of drawers.

And how many parts for the grill?  More than the stars, my friends, more than the stars.

But it's all done, and now it's gin o'clock.  Yay!
