US Sub and Japanese Vessel Collide

Monday: Another very late night, and subsequent late morning, drifting into early afternoon, with Gus in bed. Some time in my very early morning, a phone call from a plumber. My brain was still jelly when I took the call. Then later. Up, email, shower, Gus. Eggs and toast, coffee. Down basement, drums. Used some screws to connect the halves of shelves in the basement to correct some of the wobble that was created when I didn't have enough supporting brackets.

Off to work, driving the long way around. Very dramatic overcast sky, colder, and rain. When the real January temperatures come back, it's going to be a shock. Getting region operations working on the merged files. Good progress. Coffee, free fudge, and the lunch MB packed. B has a cold. Moved my car so he could get out. Asked him how many cars he owns, and he was too embarrassed to answer.

Back home, hanging out with MB. Ate an improvised burrito sort of thing from some rice and black-eyed-peas that MB had going. Cleaning up. Down basement and working on our annual letter. Goodnight to MB, handing the letter over for another proof.

Forgot to mention yesterday, I was putting away laundry. Wound up with a pair of mismatched socks. (Both black, but slightly different construction). Knowing that all the black socks were gone from my drawer, I deduced that I must be wearing the complimentary mismatched pair. Taking off my shoes confirmed this. A sock detective am I.
