Thought for the day

A strange sort of luck attaches itself to anyone who sits down at a table full of people playing cards, anties up, and then says "So... How do you play this game?".

And now, morning errands, including a stop at the dry cleaners, where they will (hopefully) have at least one dress shirt ready for greatevil's wedding. (We'll just pretend that yesterday's adventure with starch and humidity never happened...)

EDIT
And now, the dry cleaners, the ones who said "Oh, no problem... We'll definately have them done by noon", just said "Did we say noon? We meant 4. Come back at 4." (Did I mention I decided "Since I'm taking one of my good dress shirts to the cleaners, might as well take them all to the cleaners"? Stupid, stupid, stupid...) I made a... very strongly worded... request, and they'll try to have them done by 2. (I've got the Emergency Backup Shirt on standby, but I'd really rather not attend an outdoor wedding in July wearing a dark blue shirt.)
