That was quite the Odessey, Ed. Bravo for your survival tactics. There are many out there who drown while complaining bitterly that no one was coming to rescue them. We've met such people in our own survival tales. But you do all this with such a great grasp of humor. Thank you.
Brilliant! Darned cpvc! This week I got an oak splinter, a tiny thing, beneath a fingernail, as I stuffed the firebox as smoke poured out the stove door. I was hurrying, and the splinter is too badly placed to dig out. I loathed my clumsiness just reaching out for that 20 lb log, that nailed me for spite after I cut him apart with the chainsaw. Trees hate chainsaws. They’ll try to nail you with a dead branch as you’re surgically making the crucial undercut. The branch just missed its target so the splinter was the oak’s revenge. Now, wiser and in a mildly nagging state of fingernail pain, I’m at least warm. Nothing is easy in winter, apparently, but after all it’s the price we pay for spring. I guess. Great job, as usual, this week Ed!
Congratulations on the award! “Barkegaard” is one of my all-time favorites. “Doggy TV Guide” made me laugh out loud this morning -- the formatting was ::chef kiss:: and “Scream at the Postman” was a brilliant entry.
Congratulations on your award.
This was a looong story.
I like that your father’s rhyme.
Life with Ed is always an adventure.
I love the TV guide cover. I miss the TV guide.
