Work has been quite difficult for this past month or so, and I haven’t had a lot of energy for other things.

Still, I do have (for me) exciting news: Casa del PJ finally has a new roof! I have had serious problems with leaks over the guest bedroom pretty much ever since I moved in. It would leak, I’d call in a roofer, it would be fine for a season, and then it would leak again (always after the warranty period, of course). This time, I called in the big guns, and they replaced my old tar and gravel roof with a science-fictiony membrane that is guaranteed for life.

Basically, my roof (which is a flat roof [sort of] with a surrounding parapet) is covered by a single piece of something rubbery that is supposed to last the rest of my life. I think of it as a swimming pool with downspouts. Of course, now that I have a new roof, California is heading into what looks like a drought. So, I have no idea if this new roof will deliver the goods. We shall see. If nothing else, the white membrane will keep the house cooler in the summer; and it will be worlds easier to sweep off the detritus that collects up there every fall.

Stay tuned for my exciting homeowner updates!

At least someone else must have a sense of humor as fundamentally sick as mine. In case you’re wondering, I saw this on a banner ad on the Real Life Comics site and had to follow it.

Ok, back to work!
