OPENING SCENE:

So on our way up to Ladyparts, WI last weekend we stopped in Eau Claire (where my third son is interred) to pay our respects at the mausoleum. When we got there I realized I was ill-prepared...I had not picked up any flowers for his bronze vase. So Karren says "I don't think one of these old guys would mind if we took a bunch from the many they have." Being me, I thought WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT? Being Karren she immediately walked around the corner, looked to make sure no one was around, and then took a small bouquet of bright yellow fake tiger lilies from a vase overflowing with them.

My co-worker Dan says that is NOT EVEN REMOTELY FUNNY.

Bullet train to hell status: I am now one seat closer to the dining car where I hope to be serving cocktails.
