I hadn't been here to comment of this visit you made with your friend. It must mean a lot to your friend that you've done this. He knows his fate and can do nothing about it, and you show that matters to you. Must help make life worth living. Says something for how he did live before the disease.

I rebuilt the top (rafters) of the trellis* going into my back yard. The original I built from the old rafters from a porch I tore off the house. It finally got rotted. I wanted the full 2" x 4" like the old lumber, so that meant cut down 4 x 6s, which were pressure treated to last. Key word here is "last", as in linger than the first rafters. The next spring those carpenter bees, who never touched the old trellis, attacked the new wood. I walk through that trellis everyday. In one day one bored a few holes. I mean tore it up with a vengance!

Rules like showing up, paying attention, and reading something. I got kicked out. So much for that. My mother was furious but she was always mad at me so no big deal. Just another day.

Pergola sounds like something that grows in the toilet and you need to pour bleach on it to get rid of it.

It sounds like some pasta with meat filling.

*Paul, know what that is?
