- Random outbursts of clarinet playing, or perhaps saxophone or flute or piano; otherwise, an unusually quiet house, with no TV playing in the background and infrequent sounds from the phone or my clock radio.
- Dragons all over the house, plus a ginormous one on the front lawn.
- The scent of sesame oil, ginger and garlic pervading the entire house (except for the upstairs bathroom, which tends to smell more like roses).
- Cookbooks, astronomy magazines, and some random book on the dining room table. (Currently the random book is The Art of War; before that, it was Naked Lunch.)
- Occasionally being awakened at 4:00 a.m. by the aroma of fresh baked goods or some pasta dish, because my daughter cooks at weird hours.
- Caches of building materials in odd places, like in the sewing room.
Sounds good to me, when can I come?
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.
Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups
Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!
