Our Bookie Says:
4/15/03: Gil will be so sore by Day 3 that he will cave into pressure to hire someone to help with the slugwork.
5/29/03: We were way off on that last prediction; this project appears capable of going on for many weeks yet. Gil is leaner and meaner than ever. He may never give out, not even when Mindy has moved in with friends to take advantage of THEIR completed, usable patio.

With luck, you could soon be passed out here after dinner al fresco. |
