I am procrasterbating instead of digging out of my own hoard of construction odds-and-ends I set aside to do projects in my reclining years.
The years are here, but the passion has fled. My mission now is to get rid of it all so my Lovely Wife doesnt inherit my trove.

If im late, dont wait.
Go on without me.
I may tarry awhile.
I mean to know, before I go,
How come the Devil does smile.
