Monday in top hat and tails.

1. Is This Interesting?
Thoughts/feelings that just might not matter:

My, oh my, what a weekend I had. Want to know what I did?

1. I traded in my 1992 Buick Regal for $250!

2. I switched my car insurance to Progressive, for better or worse.

3. I purchased a 2005 Scion xB “Sport Wagon,” and I’m falling in love with it.

4. I went to Wimberley with the lovely Maggie.

5. We officially celebrated the one-year anniversary of our first date.

6. We stayed in a beautiful house, where we saw rabbits, deer, redbirds, bluebirds, and hummingbirds.

7. We enjoyed the Wimberley Art Walk. The storeowners like to chat, and they offer lots of free wine.

8. I purchased a 50-year-old music education book stuffed with great old songs for $6.

9. I ate a medium-rare steak with red wine.

10. I waded in a river on River Road.

11. We watched a glass blower blow glass and swing an unformed vase until its top stretched and scalloped.

12. We avoided TV and computer screens all weekend.

We’re both a bit sick now, I guess because there are limits to enjoyment in this life. Sneeze!

2.Rhyme Time!
One clue whose answer consists of two rhyming words:

Elaborately dress and groom an intelligent primate.
Highlight here for answer: [primp chimp]

3.Online Museum of the Week
Pimp My Bookcart:

4.Quotopia
Freshly-picked quotes from the ol’ reference collection:

I spent a busy day today, but got little done. This is because I am at last becoming perfect in the art of seeming busy, even when very little is going on in my head or under my hands. This is an art which every man learns, if he does not intend to work himself to death.
Robertson Davies, The Table Talk of Samuel Marchbanks

5.Plumb, Plumber, Plumbest
Signs o’ the times from Austin’s singing Jewish plumber, Herman Bennett:

JIM ROOT, DDS
