Dam It.

Last night Brian and I went to a hardware store in Portland and picked up a roof rake, something we should have done a long time ago. We think it's an ice dam along the back of the roof that is causing the leak. We should have stayed on top of removing the snow along that part of the roof. But hindsight is 20/20 and now we have a rake. The snow softened some today, so we were able to get into the back yard, albeit with some difficulty, and managed to clear some of the snow off of the roof. Some, not all. I don't know if we made a dent in the dam, but time (and a dripping noise in the mudroom) will tell.

Wow. That was dull.

I was channel surfing and caught the end of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The movie, not the tv show. I forgot how much I loved this movie. It's so campy/corny/snarky. Dated, yes, but it still cracks me up.

It's hard to believe that one week ago I was preparing to fly out to San Jose. This weekend is all about recovering from that experience. I plan on sleeping a lot and spending some quality time on the treadmill. But first, sleep and lots of it.
