No, I haven't been watching the new TV...

...just being a world-class procrastinator, to which anyone acquainted with me can testify.

Is it age? Laziness? Moonspots?

Of the three theories, I much prefer the latter.

In the past three weeks, I applied and was interviewed for a management position in a new theater in our city, but then declined the generous offer when it became apparent that going through with said employment would have been the personal equivalent of Titanic hitting the iceberg. The good thing about getting older is the ability to see the handwriting on the wall before it turns into "I TOLD YOU SO!"

In the past three days, I have a) lost my glasses (insurance used up); b) accidentally washed my contact down the bathroom sink drain while attempting to compensate for the lost glasses; c) snapped my guitar tuner in half by opening the drawer in which it was contained, not realizing said drawer had shifted its contents the last time I closed it and said tuner was wedged in the opening.

$160 to replace glasses; $50 each for contact and tuner. In the Universal Balance Ledger, I have about $400 left to "pay" for the TV we won.
