Plus I have a zit on my chin

I think the universe is messing with me. I don't know how else to explain all the minor stressors coming up one after another.

First it was the house: The washing machine was leaking, and then it fixed itself. The microwave was tripping the circuit breaker, and then that fixed itself. The water heater, alas, did not fix itself.

Then my parents came up with a scheme for my mother's birthday that required us to fly down, stay two days, and fly back up -- a trip too short even to bother to reset my watch.

Then it was the computer; AT&T's one and only local access number went down and stayed down for ten days.

And just about the time it went back up, my car refused to start.

You know what my theory is? I think I'm being recalibrated. Or possibly beta-tested.

So! None of these are major enough to require sympathy, but I'd love it if you'd tell me a joke.

Poltergeists! (Say I, only half facetiously.)

But. Anyway. Joke:
Q. How many surrealists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A. Two. One to find the giraffe and one to fill the bathtub with marbles.

This joke makes me cackle with glee. Which probably says something about me, really...

LOL. Spoken like a true Apple lover, perhaps?

And double LOL—sad, but true, that last one. Alas.
