Marty's off to Germany today for a business trip. He'll be away for a week or two. So Ziggy and I are getting ready to be bachelors for a little while. I have all kinds of instructions about how to do stuff -- how to use the automatic bill paying service, how to start the lawn mower, etc.

My friend Celeste is coming for the weekend. She's flying up from Georgia tomorrow night. It will be a whirlwind visit for certain. So today after work I need to come home and clean the house, get the guest room ready, and all that stuff.
