New Floors!

We’re getting new floors today and tomorrow, thanks to the plumbing problem we had a few weeks ago. Insurance is paying for most of it, less the deductible. The parquet in the foyer (and foyer closet) will be hardwood. Since a small section of living room carpet was messed up, so they’re replacing all that carpet, which continues on to the dining room. That was the old off-white Berber carpet that was in the house when we bought it almost 14 years ago. We’re upgrading the dining room to be hardwood as well.

This means our little dining room has been completely renovated this year, and hopefully we’ll reconfigure the living room and TV area at the same time. Surely pictures will follow.

Yesterday the AJC noted that the Yankees failed to make the playoffs, which would’ve been their 14th straight year…some were wild card appearances. Currently no one team has been to the playoffs more than two years in a row.

It prompted me to write a powder-puff Braves essay that wasn’t worth sending. I did post it below, and submitted it to Facebook…since that was an appropriate place for it (though it appears few read them…no one has commented on earlier posts). People do post short comments about the Braves, that are responded to, but not the longer, supposedly more thought out blog posts. The trivia questions appear popular. I’m considering joining the Facebook Tech fans section, so I can post things there. I really haven’t been spending much time on the internet lately.
