Well! Went to top off my coffee. I added a little coffee concentrate, then kettle water. When I make coffee, I use fresh beans, French press them into very strong liquor, then dilute. Added the cream n sugar. Cream curdled instantly. Hmm! Wife reminded me she just put vinegar in to descale it. Ugh!

Next read: Michael Ondaatje's "Anil's Ghost". Every time I walk upstairs to find a book to read, my library of over 1000 books is up there, she reminds me to bring my library card. I tell her they're my books and I just promoted the librarian (me) to the coffee procurement and handling secretary.

Well, i got home after work only to hear my wife say there's a leek under the kitchen sink. I couldn't see any water droplets. Oddly, she burst out laughing and I'm thinking to myself, a leek under the sink is no laughing matter.
