We've been watching snippets of "Carrier" on PBS late in the evenings this week and it makes me miss OSNY. It's also a reminder of the life that sailors have. Six months is an incredible amount of time, and even shorter than it used to be, incredibly.

We've also been working outside at home. This was the week of the garden, which meant hauling landscaping rocks from their unceremonious dropping site in the driveway down to the yard. Then some digging and some placing, followed by a layer of grub-be-gone.
