Today's inscrutable facts

[sanpaku_backup]

Four different people have now sent the baby copies of Goodnight, Moon as gifts.

Within a few months, we will have a Jersey Mike's Subs and a Krispy Krack Kreme within short driving distance of our house.

Today we received an "adjustment" from the insurance company that appears to erase the biggest ($1061) medical bill we would have as a result of the late phone call on the day of delivery. In the same mailbox, I received both a new Explanation of Benefits from them that denies us benefits for different medical care on the same hospital stay, and a bill from the Ob/Gyn for $1061.

It has stopped snowing and it appears that I will have to give the final exam scheduled for tonight.

Well, the joke of that is, for reasons too complicated to go into, we get to have Christmas day dinner at my house with my in-laws!

Krispy Kreme

KK Donuts taste like sponges filled with oil to me. I am the only person I know who hates them. I am reminded of this old skit on Letterman where a viewer asked, "Dave, how can I tell the difference between Corn Oil and Canola Oil?" Dave turned things over to Chris Elliot who had two bottles of oil sitting on a lab table with various bunsen burners and test tubes and such. Chris picked up the first bottle and chugged it, then the second. "I don't know Dave," he chimed, "I can't tell the difference either."

Have you had them hot? I'm sure you have. Well, add this to the list of self-evident things that you dislike, such as stuffed Chicago pizza and "spicy food." It's your prerogative.

I like spicy food just fine. I don't like the suggestion that I am a gray man incapable of enjoying the finer things in life because I don't like so much cayenne pepper that I bleed out of my eyes.

I know. Just gettin' your goat there. How is old Bob these days anyway? When was the last time you saw him? Probably face-down in his own beer vomit, I would imagine.

Ah, no ... he joined AAA.

I saw him at Mineo's Pizza. He looked very dour and he didn't talk to me. He looked miserable.

You know, it's always good to join AAA even if you don't drive a lot. You can get maps and traveler's checks there. :-)

Seriously, if he joined AA, did he apologize to you for being an asshole for so long? That's one of the 12 steps, right?

Actually, yes. It was the last time I talked to him. But he never really did anything wrong to me.
