I was willing to settle for this if he turned out to be aloof and haughty and made a break for it, though he is about my height &#038; with my extra poundage, I&#8217;m pretty sure I could take him down:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/plazajen\/550220649\/\" title=\"Photo Sharing\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm1.static.flickr.com\/254\/550220649_af5fdf23be.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Image006.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is my picture, which sadly was not taken with the Canon, but instead with my Nokia phone, and it gives you more an Impressionist perspective of my meeting. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/plazajen\/550058098\/\" title=\"Photo Sharing\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm1.static.flickr.com\/194\/550058098_8c0fee34c6.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Image007.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>However, despite being ambushed from behind, he was very pleasant, if not a little confused when I explained that having our picture taken would take me to THREE in my odd collection. (Katie Horner &#038; Bryan Busby being my other two. Gary Lezak? Buddy? I&#8217;m telling you. I have connections at your station and it&#8217;s merely a matter of TIME. And in mentioning Gary, I just increased my hits for people inquiring about whether or not Gary&#8217;s gay, one of my more popular Google search terms. People. He is. Leave him alone!)<\/p>\n<p>So then I happened to discover last night, after coming home, showering, and going down to attend to laundry (remember those lists?) &#8211; a leak coming from the main floor bathroom. The Wo investigated this morning &#038; immediately called a plumber. So I cut my day short at work, brought some work home, and met Mr. Rooter&#8217;s employee Jake, who was quite puzzled by the leak. Having had a friend go through some recent plumbing adventures, to the tune of a small used car, I was rather fearful. But Jake discovered it was one piece with a hairline crack in the shower valve, and after installing a couple of temporary caps &#8211; just like me &#038; my tooth! &#8211; we&#8217;re good to go until he gets the part in and can come back out to fix it. He assured me it won&#8217;t be crazy expensive, but who knows what the scale is on which he calculates &#8220;crazy&#8221;. For me, &#8220;crazy&#8221; runs a gamut, especially if purses or yarn or shoes are involved. Alls I know is, he spent an hour here today &#038; there was nothing to pay until the job was done.  And the Wo and I get to share a shower for the next few days. Which puts me closer to the laundry, which means I&#8217;ll get it done faster. SILVER LININGS people. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m ready for some lunch (i love lunch) and for the weekend to start. I have to keep checking my email &#038; phone just to make sure the ranch doesn&#8217;t catch fire, but I&#8217;m ready to not be racing from one thing to the next to the other to the back to the front up and down pump it up, pump it UP!<\/p>\n<p>Jen&#8217;s Smorgasborg of Life. $5.99 + tips.<br \/>Happy Weekend, peeps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is your Friday Smorgasborg!
