Temperatures to plummet

 






Late at night on the automated check in machine, working yet again an evening at my library, I conjured, in my mind, an astounding tale of the shortcomings of my co-workers. And maybe you really would like to hear it. But you'd best go fishing in the waters of the great river of the history of clerkmanifesto. There are many accounts like that. And admittedly tonight I might have written another. But the end of the work night came so suddenly upon me, and I was busy, and a lovely fellow who rarely works at the library anymore was working just for the night, and wanted to watch The World Series, and talk about baseball.

So it all slipped away from me.

And now I am home. 


I talked with my absolutely lovely wife. 

I had a pecan whiskey. 

I sat down to write.


And everything is wonderful.

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.

I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!

One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
