Generally speaking I do not like cleaning house and at the rate we're going it might be late Summer before we'll be ready to really attack it. By then we'll have to call it "Pre-Holiday Cleaning". It will be all we can do to have the house presentable for Thanksgiving Dinner, which we like to host. I'll admit though that when it does get done, the results are refreshing. I realize house cleaning is a must. I'm a radio announcer, so I can't afford a maid. That leaves Kelly and I to tackle that list of chores. So we team up and buckle down. Still some of the tasks on the list are cringe-worthy. -Matt Appleby
