Apparently lack of communication marked the demise of the beat generation.

My wife is s little better. I asked her to rate my caregiving on Yelp. I got docked on crumbs on the kitchen counters and folding clothes. Excellent rating for breakfast and grocery shopping. I'll be in major caregiver mode come Wednesday when Barb goes for the hip replacement. Her sister Jo will stay at home here since we'll have the help of our hired CNA plus Joshua and Carrie. Don't think I'll ask Barb to rate my caregiving.....if I do something wrong, I'll get yelped at enough. Cleaned up patio and grill this morning, ready for brats and burgers. Will fire up the robotic pool vacuum again. Glad I don't need to mow until Monday. Don't screw up loading the dishwasher, forget to take out the garbage, or put her tools in the wrong drawers after washing. Those are all unforgivable.

Find a long-handled tool like a spatula and, using another stationary tool in the middle of the drawer -- like, say, a cheese grater, balance the spatula with the grater as a fulcrum and then close the drawer so that the spatula tips down toward the back of the drawer, but up toward the front of the drawer, thereby locking the drawer shut.

LJ is still trying to decide which guitars in his vast collection to bring. Ultimately it will come down to which one matches his outfit. He has a guitar to match a coonskin cap?!

To solve the guitar/outfit problem, I have had fabric sleeves made by a local tailor that slip over the guitar body to match what I am wearing. The rhinestone studded ones did scratch the guitars a little but it has been worth it.

Now you know why John is NEVER allowed in Dar's kitchen and she makes him eat on the back porch.

Late to the party after the 30 mile bike ride in the blazing sun, I ask myself, " What is hip?"

Too much work. Just put a pair of long, spring loaded tongs in there facing out and close the drawer, lock that sucker up every time. Believe me I know this from first hand experience.

Hmmmm.....it is Carrie's job to unload the dishwasher and put things away. She has already managed to "lock" different drawers with various kitchen utensils. Mainly spatulas. Nothing is ever put away in the right place.....just the first, most convenient, closest place that something fits in. Corning casserole dishes w/ lids will stack quite nicely on top of each other by size. She puts the large ones in the cabinet on top of the smaller ones leaving them precariously ready to fall out on your foot.
Trash duty is hers too.....only half the time she puts it in the wrong polycart.

Don, it's time for Carrie to learn how to cook. A few times searching for what she needs and being a victim of her own traps should help.
