Yesterday we went out to Wax's mom's summer cottage for a spring cleaning, and proceeded to rake leaves, prune, weed, shake the dust out of the rugs and sweep the floors. After five hours' work we both slept about sixteen, and are now lying about and nursing our wounds. I have aches in the strangest places and I'm dying for some pizza, red wine, and coffee icecream. That would be the perfect meal right now. Too bad everything's closed.

Yes, the history's rather older over here! One doesn't just stumble onto paving stones dating from the middle ages in America.

I forget the source of this quote entirely, but someone once said that the difference between the Americans and the English is that the Americans think 200 years is a long time and the English think 200 miles is a long distance. Kind of a clever articulation of that fact, seems to me. ;)
