Maybe I’ll just start out with one of my favorite subjects, so let‘s give it a shot and move along.
OUR HANDYMAN WAS HERE TODAY. Gary came over this morning to re-caulk the toilet in our hall bathroom. Four remarkable observations about his visit: 1) he was on time; 2) the entire project took less than 20 minutes; 3) he didn’t slop up the bathroom; and 4) it was easy to get rid of him when he finished even though he wanted to babble at Sam about the election. (I think Gary voted for Trump. He’s seriously lucky we didn’t shove that tube of caulk down his throat.)
WHITE BREAD WITH MELTY CHEESE: BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS. Sam made my favorite breakfast for me this morning ... two or three pieces of white bread in the toaster oven with burned American cheese singles. (Burned American cheese tastes better than raw American cheese.)
SAM IS TRYING TO HIBERNATE. We’re having a cold snap here. The high temperature today and tomorrow will be 45° and on Friday it won’t get above freezing. I only mention this because I want Sam to mail a letter for me and pick up a couple of prescriptions but he says it’s TOO DAMN COLD TO GO OUTSIDE. I might be able to change his mind, however, with the following logic: 1) use the big drive-by mailbox in front of the post office and the drive-up pharmacy window at Wal-Mart; and 2) STOP BEING SUCH A WEATHER SISSY. I grew up in Chicago and figured how to do damn near anything even in sub-zero weather, such as shopping, commuting, shlepping to the laundromat and doing lunch with girlfriends!

Coming up tomorrow ... WE’RE HAVING OUR CARPETS CLEANED! I’m so excited I can’t stand it. Billy the Carpet Dude will be here at 9 a.m. to do the family room, hallway, master bedroom and study. Sam will be able to move most of the smaller furniture by himself — i.e., decorative benches, end tables, coffee table, desk chairs, etc. — and Billy said he’d move the sectional in the family room. In case you’re wondering, we’re not cleaning the formal living room or the guest room because the carpets are genuinely pristine!
It’s time to join Sam in the family room for munchies and a movie. Thank you for reading this.
