Now, I don’t want to worry Mrs. That Dan Guy, but if we could all keep this a bit on the downside for now, I’d sure appreciate it…

Last night, I thought I might relive part of my youth by bringing home one of those classic science projects for kids – an ant farm.

The problem is, I sort-of tripped, coming in over that stupid threshold from the garage, which I will admit I’ve been told to repair time and time again – but I need to purchase a hammer. Which I suspect I had better put onto our grocery list pronto…

Anyhoo…

Well, this stupid ant farm hits the floor, and all I hear is this ugly “breaking glass” sort-of sound – then there’s this massive sprint – a sea of tiny black marathoners that decides its Spring Break here in the Such Is Life household. NOT GOOD!!!

Luckily, we happen to keep one of those handy little mini, hand vacuums right there in the mud room, which I put into employment immediately. However, some of these sprinters must have been Kenyan, because they had a clear advantage on the rest of the runners. Gone in 60 seconds!!

So, until I spot these little beggars again, who are sure to start rooting around for food sometime soon, I need to make sure that MTDG has NO idea that we have some uninvited houseguests.

And until this does resolve itself, I had better hold off on picking up a new ant farm…

Chow for now!!
