Well, that was a bust. The gas company didn't deliver. They showed up to change out the bottle and found there was no bottle to take away. And my check wasn't large enough to cover the deposit for a bottle and regulator.

On Saturday the cable company was supposed to hook up the TV. They didn't show at all.

However, I did get through a lot of boxes and found a bunch of stuff I've been looking for. I even found some stuff I didn't know I had including a box left behind by my girlfriend in 2000 when she left me for another man. Interesting lack of emotion when I found that.

I guess my adventure in taking a break into mundane things. I haven't been doing much of anything lately. By the time I get home from work I am too tired to go back out into the world. At 10:00 I go off to bed so I can relax and listen to the neighbor's dog bark without any of the distractions of the radio or TV. That dog seems to think it has a lot to say. We've all known people like that, those who seem to think the world has to hear their voice. This dog must think the world is vastly improved by the sound of a barking dog.
