Back to the office today, which had an appropriate early-21st century temperature inside. Good thing, too. It was cold outside. Cold, but not as cold. <\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

So warming?<\/em><\/p>\n

Well, yes, but to say “cold, but warming” would seem silly.<\/p>\n

As opposed anything else that goes on here?<\/em><\/p>\n

I don’t know what you could be — <\/p>\n

You’ve created a fictional construct to advance this joke.<\/em><\/p>\n

Sure.<\/p>\n

That’s silly. And, what’s more, you’ve made me rude. I just interrupted you, after all.<\/em><\/p>\n

I see what you mean.<\/p>\n

So?<\/em><\/p>\n

… <\/p>\n

You interrupted yourself for a joke. One that doesn’t have a punchline and is neither original or funny.<\/em><\/p>\n

Yeah, OK. It was cold, but warming.<\/p>\n

It’s going to be cold all weekend, too. And then next week we’ll see some 40s again. <\/p>\n

Really, this whole post is filler. I received an email that my new chair was going to arrive today. This seemed improbable since I’d ordered it after hours yesterday. And then, this evening I received another email telling me it wouldn’t arrive tonight but, instead, on Monday.<\/p>\n

Yeah, no kidding. I’ve been staring out the window at the porch all night, like a kid expecting Santa or something, but Santa was bringing me a new desk chair. <\/p>\n

So I could write extensively about that, but I’ve already invented one character for you today. I could complain about my telephone customer service woes of the week, but that — two nice, but ultimately unhelpful people, a few hours of over modulated and highly compressed hold music and carefully recorded reassurances of my importance before being disconnected while on hold — has been done to death. <\/p>\n

All of this just gives us something to look forward to enjoying together next week. <\/p>\n

See you then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
