...but at least nobody died.
When we said my essay would go on Shakesville today, we forgot what today's date is. They've been a little busy over there. It will go up tomorrow, and you can be sure I'll remind you then.
In the meantime, let me just nutshell my day for you -- it will be a long long post when I get around to writing it tomorrow [now that you've indulged yourself with this here, Prudence, maybe the long-long isn't necessary -- Goody], but for brevity's sake, here are some numbers just to give you an idea:
2 hours spent in the dentist chair
20 x-rays taken
0 work actually done
1 referral to an endodontist for the broken tooth
1 referral to an oral surgeon to take out what's left of my wisdom (which is all of it -- I knew it was too good to last)
3 appointments lined up to fill cavities
1 deep, slightly shuddering breath, and now we move on to biometrics-appointment related paper-gathering
2 hours on the road getting to appropriate courthouse
45 minutes spent in...
3 wrong offices tried before finding appropriate office in courthouse
1 hour spent in appropriate office waiting to be told...
0 documents achievable today (why? we had "arrived too late in the afternoon")
tears, countless several
1 lashing rainstorm driven through on the way home
1 windshield wiper lost in lashing rainstorm (driver's side)
home again home again jiggity jig
1 electrician, finished the job!
1 John B., hanging out with electrician, waiting for us to come home
0 beers left in fridge
170 measly dollars electrician charged to hook us up
out again out again joggity jog
32 measly dollars charged at the package store for:
30-pack of Budweiser
2 6-packs IPA
1 pack Marlboro Lights, and
1 Ultra Lights
back up a sec and do the math... you realize what that adds up to...?
FREE BEER, that's what!!!!
(or free cigarettes, but that's nowhere near as funny, or as well-deserved...)

Ugh!
Poor poor poor pitiful you!
:(
Ok, your day beats my measly little stomach flu, hands down.
But I do want to know whose IPA you drink. I may have to grab me some Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA as soon as my tummy is all better... mmmmm, good stuff.
Oh and I meant to mention that I appreciate the very timely reference to one of my favorite politial t-shirts/bumper stickers.
