a beautiful day in the neighborhood

I haven't used the Fist of Death at the office today.
Not yet anyway.

aspersions on my own contention

Earlier this week I suggested that I'd most likely sail thru that cold. It didn't quite turn out that way. It was nowhere near as severe as my wife's was, but I'd have welcome the chance to rest. Today of course had to be a 13-hour work day, with a 30-minute break near the end of it. Me, bushed, pooped, tired, fatigued? Of course not, even though my wife says I'm not getting any younger.

the Rapture

I don't know when the Rapture is supposed to occur, but I had the plumber come over today for a small Rupture.
