my eyes flew to the tv screen

I was having tea with two lovely women during a break from the conference on Saturday when I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It was an ad about 16 different ways that fake wood could be built into a bird house, little wooden figure, etc. Handy Manny has a new tool bench. . . .

Oh, and I just found out it cost $100! I'm more glad than ever that we do not have a tv. He also told me that he loves the store "Toys 4 Us"--and that was pretty funny, especially since we never go there.

We missed the special on Sunday night where he had a family reunion, and I felt weirdly guilty because I know what joy it would bring. I have a feeling that we'll hear about Manny's motorcycle trip somehow even if we didn't see the special.
