Babysitting and Numismatics

Liam and Addison went down for their nap and aren't expected to wake up for two hours.
I'm making $32 to read and surf the net as they sleep.

Speaking of money, the basement flooded again. This time destroying $400 dollars worth of dehumidifiers and fans. Luckily, we figured out exactly what causes the flooding and will soon be digging trenches in the backyard. I just hope it doesn't look like WWI out there.

Also, I am founding an Art Theory Society called Ars Gratia Artis (Art for Art Sake). We'll meet at Java Co. once every other week and invite professors to discuss various aesthetic philosophies. Join or Die. (wait, wrong time period)

Speaking of! My dad emptied his lock box at the bank and showed me his coin collection. I had no idea he was into numismatics! Anyway, he has a silver dollar worth 2,500 dollars and a Mass. 1/2 cent dated 1776! The anthropologist in me was thrilled. Maybe Sam Adams used that very 1/2 cent to buy Indian attire or a lager? Perhaps some pissed off Patriot had to spend it on the Stamp Tax?
