1. On Sunday May 4th, I mowed my lawn. Feels like I've stepped more firmly into adulthood, but it's probably just middle class. This feeling will not be diminished by the fact that my stepdad gave me the mower for free, or the fact that it's a muffler-less beast with a plastic bag securing the cracked oil cap.
I used to think "lawn care" was a decadent, bourgeois thing that I would never pay for or engage in if I could help it. But if I let the grass grow over 12 inches, the city will mow it for me and send me an exorbitant bill, so they've forced my hand. If I could get away with it, I would certainly allow my lawn to flourish au naturel. Until then, the best we can do is leave all the dandelions in the cracks of our sidewalks and curbs. My wife loves them and can't understand why people try to get rid of dandelions.
2. May 7th I discovered that if I bend my head way down as far as possible, then some of the longer hairs in my beard almost reach my navel.
