KICKIN' UP DUST

...SAWDUST, that is.

DH had the chainsaw going about all afternoon. About 4 p.m. I saw him bending over with hands on knees (the usual angina recovery position), so I popped my head out the back door and asked, "Are you O.K.?"

DH: *turning with big smile* "I'm fine."

P:*with skeptical brows, "I think you've done enough..."

DH: "...but I'm not done yet."

P: "Look at all that sawdust; you've done enough for one day."

DH: *continues on, tossing firewood over stream out of the way for another hour or so; but does not restart the chainsaw.*

------------------------------------------------------------------
It occurs to me there's an epidemic of denial within the Teel clan these days.

DH says just now: *moaning as he gets out of the recliner* "I overdid it."

Shh-h-h-h-...he thinks I wasn't listening. :)

I believe all males must be programed from birth to say, 'I'm fine'.

Looks to me like he made several days worth of sawdust. Now he should take a little vacation.
