Parking Lot time

Time to use one of my generally hidden Super Powers - painting the parking lot!

Seeing we had some nice cloud cover this morning, I dumped my plans to garage sale and started in on painting the church parking lot while it was relatively cool. I re-do it every 2-3 years, running the striper is the best part. This was the icky part, the crawling along hand-painting lettering, little handicap dudes and speed bumps...got about 1/3 done before the sun burned its way out of the clouds and I was fragged out, which is pretty good.

Wish the paint weren't so expensive, but hey...it gets the job done. Entombs bugs and weeds well too. I love how it brightens everything up, having it all shiny and white like that, it makes it look like Somebody Cares.

Books meme with a Classical twist

I noted the 100+ title "what books have you read" meme going by and wondered if I might find somewhere a comparable sort of list to use that focused instead on titles considered a part of being classically educated or similar. Here's a compilation of gleanings from three such lists.

As is commonly done with such things, I've put the ones I've read in bold, the ones I intend to read in the reasonably near future in italics (in my case, this means I now own a copy and it is literally waiting in a pile). Feel free to pass it on, or adjust as needed.  Some of these I don't think I would ever read, but who knows? Perhaps.
