“find me up on a ladder in my kitchen sanding our kitchen cabinets, with the radio turned up rather loud.”
I’m having a “ladder/Rush” flashback, too. We moved into our house in NY in September 2000. We were going to move later in the year, but wanted to be in NY to vote against Hillary for Senate. While DH was at work, I’d be painting the walls, and I have many memories doing it on a ladder while listening to Rush.
I had listened to him since the late ‘80s, and he got me through many tasks that would have been tedious without listening to him.
Sounds like we have much in common, Mayflower.
