The exercise:

Write about: the takeover.

Watched The Secret Life of Walter Mitty with Kat this evening. Really enjoyed it. Some genuinely funny moments, excellent scenery, several wonderful acting performances. Consider it highly recommended.

Also? I'm really digging the soundtrack.

This morning I got the majority of our squash out of the garden. Just need to go back for the remainder of the spaghetti squash tomorrow. After that I should probably get myself organized for this year's garlic planting.

But first things first: I'm taking Max in for a haircut after breakfast. That boy needs to get that mullet situation under control, stat.

Mine:

He strolls these halls,
Touches our walls,
As though he belongs,
He's been here all along...
But he does not,
He has not.

We flee his approach,
He has encroached.
Who invited him,
This reaper so grim?
T'was not I,
T'is no lie.

Make no mistake,
Jobs are at stake.
We can only cower,
For he holds the power -
This by the book,
New age crook.

We should fight back,
Get on the attack!
But we choose instead
To sit and break bread;
We're so scared,
Desperate to be spared.
