Joe has laid the first tiles on our new kitchen floor. The former girlfriend is very happy, the dirty old floor was making her crazy. I have a different view of it, I think it is the beginning of a new phase of life in our new home. We are making the transition from quaint to charming, it will take a long time and some more money than is available right now, but I look forward to getting there. This will brighten both of our lives, I have to admit she was right, the old floor was wretched.
