Apples, worms, boxes, and to-do lists

• Anybody want some apples? We went apple picking last week and we're kinda up to our ::ahems:: in apples here. They're great apples, really, just, you know, not for every single meal. We've made apple muffins, and chicken & apples, and tuna & apple wraps, and potato & apple frittatas, and we've lobbed them at every child who's come into our home and we will be making apple pies, and spinach & apple salad, and squash & apple soup, and apple gravy and oh mercy.
  
  Then again, we were able to make about three metric tons of strawberries disappear in the spring without too much upset, so I suppose we will overcome the Great Apple Deluge as well.
  
  
• The boys have been listening to our two new Arrogant Worms CDs to the point where tbh I'm beginning to get a little sick of them. I'm really glad they got to see them in concert, but am starting to wish we'd taken them to see an act with a slightly less catchy tunes. I'm tired of waking up with "Big Fat Road Manager" already stuck on perma-repeat in my head.
  
  The Worms were really pretty amazing, though, as an act. They're far more of a comedy act than a band. I felt kinda sorry for them, though - they were onstage at a campground, so there was no illumination whatsoever on the audience. They kept making jokes about it. "It's like we're singing for... tar." And at one point one of them said, "You know, this is like every comedian's worst nightmare. Whenever we pause, if you listen, you can hear..." and we're all quiet, and some people start to chuckle, "Crickets! You literally hear crickets chirping!"
  
  Anyway, here's a song that we very much enjoyed when they sang it, and have been singing it a little too often for my taste. Especially as the old Laurentian High School property near our place is finally looking like there's going to be development soon. Smart!Centres (loathe that name, BTW) hopes to start building their shopping monstrosity sometime soon. Time to move!
