the Omen

Thanks again, each and everyone of you.

Yesterday morning, I started going thru all the bills that had been piling up while we were waiting for my wife's publisher to finally send the money for her most recent contract. We'd deposited the check on Friday, but the funds wouldn't be accessible until midnight that day. So it was with a merry heart that I wrote and mailed the checks for bill after bill. And for the taxes we owed the IRS and the state for last year. And the first payments for the estimated quarterly taxes. And paid off a big chunk off our credit card debt. I hope it was not an ill omen that, when I had gotten up yesterday, it was raining even though it seldom rains here, and there were at least 20 earthworms crawling all over the patio.

There are ladies present. We don't want them to believe that men can't help resorting to juvenile humor. Do we?

There I was hoping the ladies would have a higher opinion of us and what do you do? You go on and reinforce their prejudices.

Who, me? I don't have any reinforced bones in my body....
