We cant find anything suitable for less...and that's a little much.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

We managed to buy our own place just in time, thank goodness.

Ordering a tofu press. I think figuring out some easy tofu dishes is going to be my next food project. I know about mapo tofu and miso soup, but neither really hits the spot.

Doing a lot of reading and coffee/tea drinking. A contractor has been working on my hallway (floor levelling and new hardwood), and currently we're waiting for the penultimate coat of floor finish to dry. My computer is upstairs on the other side of the no-walk zone, but fortunately I have access to the kitchen, an Android tablet, and my book reader.

Looks like Dad and I have to do our first concert cancellation of this year’s Ravinia season. It was a double header with George Benson and Buddy Guy. And due to conditions I can only call “Arrakis-like”, we’re cancelling.
Also, Dad did something special for the mail lady. He put a sign on the door telling whoever was delivering the mail to ring the doorbell. Apparently, she thought she was doing something wrong, but Dad just gave her an ice cream sandwich and a water bottle.
