I was doing OK until I sunk a big chunk of money into a construction
project for my business. The original budget was fine. Unfortunately
the actual costs ended up being just a bit more money than I had to
spend, so now I have less than no money to spend until/unless the
project starts bringing in some money to pay me back. That could be a
few months or it could be a few years, hence the reason why I'm home
and working this holiday for a change rather than dodging tsunamis in
Thailand. Besides, this is the nicest place to be right now. Did I
mention that it's 70 and sunny today?

Yeah, you mentioned it, but I'm not jealous. Much.

I do remember setting up a table under the mesquite tree in our front
yard in Phoenix to eat Christmas dinner a few times -- and then
calling my brothers "back east" to wish them a happy holiday and
admonish them to "keep warm."

I know it's just karma that has me reading stuff like that now. But it
is 56 today, in a fog so thick I might need to take my scuba gear if I
go out for a walk...

Have a good one Greg.

That sounds a bit cool for doing laps in your pool, but I suppose it is
about perfect for the hot tub in the evenings.

That's the bah humbug part. My hot tub isn't working. Well the jets
work, but it's not hot unless you Canadians consider 56-degree water
hot. We got 165 cases of product in on Friday and I hefted each one
of the boxes at least once as we processed and moved everything
inside. I really need my hot tub.

This time it might just be the pilot light, but that begs the question
why the pilot light would have gone out since we haven't had any
wind. I'm having some trouble with the damn thing at least every
month or so, always coinciding with the times I really need to sit in
it. I put off checking the pilot until today since I have to crawl in
the mud to get to it. I guess I better get crawling. We have to
leave in three hours for our long drive to "the Valley".

No luck. Bah humbug. The pool guy doesn't come out until Friday and
he might be off this week.
