What I didn't say

• Random thoughts from the past few days:

  • "Yeah, hold on. Hey, has anyone seen Heraldo or Barbara Walters come into the office yet today?" -What I really wanted to say after someone called the Herald to ask us to put one of our "investigative reporters" on a story about bad bus drivers.
  • "That's so wrong...so why am I laughing?" -My inner struggle after viewing a sign that read "Fresh Angus Season Burgers." Someone had removed the "g" from "angus" and pushed the remaining letters together.
  • "This is like giving mouth-to-mouth to the person with the world's worst breath."- The last thought that passed through my mind while siphoning out five-day old water from my broken washing machine before the first surge of the putrid stuff suddenly hit me square in the chest. It was only the hand of God that made me jerk my face back from the end of the garden hose.
  • "That would be great. It's tied up down by the edge of the woods. Be careful."- After Kati offered to massage my sore calf. (Actually, I did say this.)
