Oh, man.

I've had drains removed, I've seen someone else's drain removed, and I think I could handle being the remover better than being the removee. I'm so glad you didn't have to do that to yourself, and you have a wonderful partner who could.

(And, yeah, they go on forever, and if you're not expecting that, it's a lot worse.)

I'm glad things are on a trend of improvement!

I literally woke up this morning - a bit dreary and rainy here in Portland OR - and wondered, "where did I see that navy bean soup recipe?" Now I know where to look. I think I'll head to the store in a bit to pick up ingredients. Truly enjoy your write ups and wish you and the rest of the bunker staff well as you prep for the coming onslaught sometimes known as 'Texas in Summer'.

Thanks for the ear worm, Kevin. Now I’m going back through Jerry Rafferty’s catalog because In the 6 Degrees musical version of the game, you can get from “The Things We Do For Love” to “Baker’s Street” in three moves…
