So this is how liberty dies ... with thunderous applause.

Will write for food

This is definitely the mood I'm in today.

*sigh*

Still no word from my biggest client on what they plan to do with their contractors.

When I worked in Midland, a co-worker brought in this drawing and I made a copy and framed it in this old junky frame I found at a garage sale. It had glass on it and was under my bed till we, uh, er, broke the bed (at least the fourth time we've broken a bed, but that is another story) ... and the glass broke. I simply haven't replaced it. So, this is hanging over my washing machine in the garage.

    You kids have broken a bed FOUR times?? My, my. I'm going to assume it wasn't because they were poor quality furniture.

    We've only done that once in 22 years of marriage . . . and unfortunately, I think it was only because I hadn't put the damn thing together correctly after we'd moved into a new house.

    I read this and recalled immediately the great Barry Fitzgerald line from "The Quiet Man" when he does a double-take on coming upon the broken bed in John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara's cottage:

    "Impetuous . . . Homeric!"

    Must be something about you redheads . . .

    It gets worse. Each of the beds we broke were given to us by AoM's parents. Three out of the four times we had to have her dad fix them since I didn't own any tools.

    Oh, THAT had to be one hell of a fun phone call to make to your father-in-law.

    I'm sure it was...for AoM! She had to make those calls. I don't know if he ever asked her how we broke them.
