    You know, you can try to protect your ex from stupidity but no matter what you do, it never seems to work out. That’s why everyone loses.

    SUMMER CLASSES AT HARVARD!

    Graduate seminar in writing. Harvard the worlds best summer program. Actually, it has the best continuing education program in the world as well. It sets the standard for how programs should be run.

    Anyway, I can’t wait. 🙂 (And I’ll get the chance to have dinner with my wonderful daughter now and then too!)

    EXOTICS

    I love the Ferrari. But if a boat is a hole in the water that you pour money into, then the Ferrari is a hole in the pavement that serves the same purpose. And I get pretty tired of an oil change that costs 3K. Just annoys me.

    The Porsche’s on the other hand, are as close to bullet proof as a car can be. (If only the cabin was wider…) If I didn’t have to replace the front spoiler every six months it’d be a perfect car.

  • FIRE IN THE HOLE I can’t even begin to imagine how many times I’ve lit nice fat

    FIRE IN THE HOLE

    I can’t even begin to imagine how many times I’ve lit nice fat aromatic candles for an evening, and sometime later fallen asleep, only to wake up in the wee hours, when they’ve sputtered and melted, put them out and gone to bed.

    I’ve laughed at people who, with concerned paranoia, cautioned me that candles are a hazard. Especially at my log house, where there wasn’t much available to burn.

    I’ve literally had fifty candles burning at whole-house parties without incident.

    I’m not sure exactly how it started from the candle on the nightstand, but tonight the mattress, bedspring, and bedding caught fire. And we had a hard time putting it out. It spread so fast I didn’t think we could.

    I’ve had a few small obligatory kitchen fires. I’ve had the usual napkin catch on fire at the dinner table. And helped others put out tablecloths, hair, dresses and shirtsleeves. I did light an enormous rural brush fire as a kid while playing with firecrackers. But never anything really serious before — at least that I remember.

    I’ll remember this one. That gaping hole in the bedspring will remind me. And I’m not going to replace it — just so that I’m sure it does.
