What I Did This Morning Before You Were Probably Even Awake:

[captainsblog]

(Sheesh, most of it I did before I was even awake.)

- Brought clothes to my wife. Not only do you not want to ask, you definitely do not want to make any remarks including the words Dobby, Winky or Kreacher.

- Tried to reset a circuit breaker in my neighbor's kitchen.

- Failed. Wound up running an extension cord from a working outlet on the other side of the kitchen, across her counter to the fridge and stove and plugged them into THAT until we can figure out what's wrong. By "we," we mean a qualified electrician and/or my wife who understands this stuff far better than I do.

- Went to church, where, in keeping with the new H1N1 directives, we've secretly replaced the sacramental blood of the New Covenant with new grape-flavored Listerine. Also, the Sign of Peace has been temporarily suspended, with unsuspecting visitors who attempt to hug us being given the Sign of the STFU N00b.

- Did not get a flu shot at church, where the annual clinic got called off for the fourth time in the past five years.

- What, that's not enough?

Earlier in the weekend,

- Did not see 10,000 Maniacs on Friday night. Probably just as well, since the actual date of the concert was last night. Did not see them then, either.

- Checked in with Friend who has made it safely to her new home in Baltimore. Got directions to said home. It is off a street called "Seaford Avenue." Though she has no idea why (but everybody in my family does), that is very good karma.

- Did not hear from any of the other Friends I was hoping to catch up with en route. Dudes. You've got mail.

- Still not king. Not that I'd particularly want to be in this economy.

Who'd want to be king? You'd just get buried in the paperwork.

True. And the main advantage from the old days? As Obama is finding out, in today's world, even if you ARE king, you still get shit all over you.

...replaced the sacramental blood of the New Covenant with new grape-flavored Listerine.

I'm glad not to have had a mouthfull of coffee when I read that.

So... ahem... I suggest you use grappa. It is grape-based and kills germs.

Why not distribute hand-sanitizing spritzers? Seriously. It's a public service gesture.

eleanor's kind of a hoss when it comes to climbing on ladders and doing electrical work and stuff. :)

I don't even know what the words Dobby, Winky, or Kreacher mean. However, I do have to say that you're awesome. My husband has occasionally brought my clothes to me in the morning. It's a really sweet thing.
