A Moving Experience

The furniture delivery men came again today. The third time was a charm - they finally brought the right replacement piece for our new sectional.

I felt sorry for them the first two times they came out (it was the same 2 men both times). Today I felt even sorrier. You would sort of expect the men that move furniture for a living to be at least a little burly. A couple of muscles. Nope. Not today. Both the moving men today were slightly built, Hispanic men. Lugging a couch down a full flight of stairs, then lugging another one up.

I try and point out these labor intensive and "unfun" jobs to my boys - as reasons to get a good education.

We have stooped to telling Jonah that there are LOTS of really pretty college co-eds in order to encourage his higher educational goals
