I hope you got some sleep, Steph.
Perkins, I hope the pancakes are delicious and the root canal goes quickly.
Thanks. Me too. Especially the latter.

Ooooh, I appear to be working at home this morning, in anticipation of the nice men who will arrive bearing my new stove.
The plumber's service call consisted of them pulling the stove out about three feet, turning a stopcock, and unscrewing a coupling. This cost me $123.76 (which includes $60 which will apply to the return visit to connect the new stove).
Someone remind me why I thought computer programming would be a high-pay low-effort career.....

Poking head to wish Perkins the most minimum painful root canal ever, with the shortest time and the least unconvenience.

I'm also impressed with the effectiveness of Plan Wally. bt's gone and put serious work into practical date finding and cultivating. It's rather instructive/inspirational/etc. When I get my ducks suitably rowed I may try to follow his example.

My new cousin-in-law is a plumber! I have this secret plan that when I buy a house, I'm gonna invite him, my once-was-a-historical-rehab-contractor uncle, and my SIL and her construction contractor dad to visit and put them all to work.
.... yeah, I know it won't really work. But I can dream.

Timelies. Feeling ever so much better today. Amazing what a good night's sleep can do (despite the craxzy dreams).
Also, it looks like the weather is going to be every bit as good as they said it would this week. And I've got Thursday and Friday off and am going to Maine. Woohoo!

My recent experience suggests that reading up on exposed-to-risk is effective.
I recommend drugs, orgasms and alcohol.
All things considered, I think I'd go with Hec's plan.
Though, as I spent most of last night awake, and therefore most of this morning pissed off, 1 paragraph from "Conflict in the Cold War" did me in for a good 2 hour nap. I still don't get the political-science-theory difference between "war is a possibility" and "war may occur." But the author thought it was vitally important.
