Cleaning, Cooking and Squash

The Brother is coming over for dinner tonight. I’m de-thawing a 5lb lasagne and planning a fourth attempt at baking focaccia. Also vacuuming the furniture and floors and reclaiming the bathroom. The Thin Blue Line (Errol Morris, 1988) is not on DVD yet, so will try and rent Kurosawa’s Shichinin no samurai (Seven Samurai) or my other must-see Japanese epic, Battle Royal. But just got a call from a random university student, challenging me to a game of squash this afternoon. This will be my first battle since registering with the ladder at UVic. Nervousness descends as I put my dinner and sanitation duties on hold.
