No luck. We've got the only kitchen around you might describe as "choppy". That's just about the time you're ready to go bananas..... ....the old Hammer 'n Can trick. & ° Worst of all, however....the scourge of all Builders of Great Things, Hammerers of Nails and Merasurer of Tapes, is that unidentified member of the_family who maliciously keeps hiding the tools as soon as you put 'em down. Put down the hammer for a minute...presto, it's gone when you need it. Measuring tape... a nails...square...everything. Spend five minutes work and a half-hour looking for stuff, that's the way It goes. | So bold had the yet unidentified party got last weekend, that not only did he swipe a pencil on me for a good 15 minutes, but he actually slipped it behind my ear when | wasn't looking.
