Harper's article (Lewis Lapham, "The Case for Impeachment") (sorry, no link, but do read it! those in NYC can head to the discussion on March 2)

Sunday:
Tackle the White Trash Mound o' Dirt (tm) in the driveway. Heaven help us, we're going to try to make lemonade out of this molehill. Or something. This WTMo'D has been sitting in our driveway for a year, I'm embarrassed to say. In our lame-ass defense (not that anyone cares, really), the Mo'D looks like it could be a part of the woodsy section bordering our driveway. The tarp covering the last delivery of mulch tho' ain't helping the ambiance. The goal is to flatten and redistribute the Mo'D so that we're looking at a flower bed (wildflowers?) and not the White Trash Mound o' Dirt (tm) that it so obviously is and which puts me into a bad mood everytime I pull into the driveway.

It being a Sunday and a rare one at home, we couldn't possibly tax ourselves too greatly w/ more than one activity, so the museum I have yet to visit and the photography exhibit I want to see will have to wait for another day.
