We just got back from the nearby botanical garden, where a wonderful new orchid house had opened since our last visit.
Upon arrival, we came face to gnarled face with a vast wave of ancient people, all lurching and tottering towards us on canes and walkers. It was Dawn of the Dead meets Cocoon. Turned out they were on a field trip -- from death's doorstep, apparently -- and it was time to go home for their nap. Never get between old people and their bus; you'll be scraping polyester off your shoes for days.
Our contractor has checked in a couple of times to report commendable progress. In just three days, they did all the demo, framed the new walls, and roughed in the plumbing and electric. Tomorrow the city inspector comes, and if s/he signs off they can proceed with drywalling etc. Very exciting.

The most amazing part of this story is that the contractor actually called you...
