PAgent’s Progress
Just so you’re up to date…
The new chimney is done, and looks quite handsome. The roof will get done this next week.
The dog is adapting to life as a convict, but isn’t happy about it.
Our daughter snitched a lighter and a candle from us when we weren’t looking. She burnt some hair and cloth outside, but then smuggled them into her room. Thank goodness the Wife caught her. The image of her playing with fire in her rat’s nest of clutter is quite terrifying.
I helped my sister move a chair yesterday. Halfway to our van something in both knees went “sproing!” I’ve been popping Advil ever since. I took my cane to work, which I haven’t done in something like nine months. Sigh.
And to round out my Monday, I stopped by Starbucks to replace my travel mug, which finally died after several years of valiant service. I picked up a nice shiny blue insulated mug, filled it with a mocha (no whip), and limped off to the office. When I got there, I realized to my horror that I had spots of mocha foam all over my coat and pants.
Bewildered, I tried to figure out how they got there. It must have been before I put the lid on my new mug, because the cup is airtight, right? To prove this, I gave my new mug an experimental shake, which caused a jet of mocha to spray from the joint between the lid and the mug, covering my desk (and all the papers on it) in sticky brown spots.
And a happy Monday to you.

The real question is how the dog managed to plant the mug at Starbucks.
Just a side tip – today might not be the day to visit Jurassic Park. Just sain’.
