We decided to stop by the house to pick up a few things before leaving town.  Dad wanted to take the TV with us, but I was sure that the Joker had gotten to it first and rigged up a trap.  So, we wheeled the TV out onto the driveway, connected it to a really long extension cord, and turned it on (using an old style knob instead of a button).  With the TV switch in the &#8220;on&#8221; position, we plugged in the TV from a safe distance.  Sure enough, it exploded in a shower of glass and fire. <\/p>\n<p>Dad and I just looked at each other.   I wanted to go back inside and get my shoes, but Dad thought the whole place might have been trapped, so we just left a note for my mom and my sister not to go inside and took off.    I was still complaining about the shoes when I woke up.<\/p>\n<p>Which is just as well, since I drank way too much water before I went to bed.  I must have gotten up 4 times &#8211; which is unheard of for me. <\/p>\n<p>Today, when I went to lunch, I tried to get my Usual #1 &#8211; rigitoni with meatballs, no sauce.  But they were out of meatballs.  So, I decided on my Usual #2 &#8211; 1 pepperoni and 1 mushroom.   Nope, out of mushroom.   So, 2 pepperoni.   I was waiting for her to tell me she was out of bottle Pepsi too, but they had that and I went on my way.  I was only mildy annoyed, which must mean I&#8217;m having an okay day.<\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s it for now &#8211; back to work&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img width='1' height='1' src='https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/7938355-111652646819379476?l=approximatelyequalto.blogspot.com' alt='' \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Had a dream last night that my dad and I were on the run from the Joker (the batman villian, not a playing card).
