You already know what underwear looks like.

Hi, people. In case you missed it, there was an unexpected burst of manicky energy at Howdygram headquarters today! Sam began first thing this morning by emptying the garbage cans in every room of the house, taking our Hyundai for an oil change and car wash, helping me hang up a pile of clean clothes, and then making a bunch of highly successful phone calls — everybody actually picked up! — regarding: 1) what’s the latest status of our mortgage re-fi with Wells Fargo; 2) scheduling Sunnyvale Fence to fix our back yard gate; 3) requesting an extra weed treatment from our landscaping contractor; and 4) hiring a nice neighborhood handyman for a variety of thrilling early summer projects, including a quote for solar screens for the family room, master bath and master bedroom. He’s coming over on Wednesday.

As for yours truly, I’m folding underwear, downloading fonts and thinking about dinner. It’s a full life, isn’t it? The aforementioned fonts are pictured below for your possible interest. (You already know what underwear looks like.)
My favorites here include Rambler Script, Kamden, Kon Tiki Lounge and Ruach. Kosher ain’t too bad, either.

In the spirit of brightening up Howdygramland for spring I ordered a couple of clever convenience products this afternoon from Amazon.
These are both really nice polished chrome over-the-cabinet whatnots by InterDesign, a company that manufactures a lot of excellent yet cheap household crapola. I already own a number of their products, including drawer organizers, lucite pantry stacking thingies and the new shower caddy in our master bathroom. In case you’re wondering, the plastic bag holder goes inside the cabinet and the kitchen towel bar will go outside, except you shouldn’t use both on the same door. (Duh.) I’m excited enough to make Five-Minute Stupid Soup for dinner and low-carb biscuits!

And finally, here’s a photo from our People in Glass Houses department that clearly illustrates why you should never dive into a pool without water.
Thank you for reading this. Seriously.
