Keep in mind that I have a wife, two daughters, a female cat and a female
labrador. I consider myself lucky if I don't get evicted from my bathroom by
at least one female during a trip to said sanctom sanctorum. I am the only
male within a hundred yards of ground zero.
As I type, I can't even get close to tehre as wife and daughter are getting
daughter "ready" for the HS Christmas dance.
I'll have to admit, that my little girl who tackled the PhilTrail this summer
with vigor looks as pretty as a picture and I'm sure she and prince charming
will have a wonderful evening.
The "enjoy life" side of me has this mental image of Carol's bathroom at home
and I'm dying laughing.
I see all these little bottles, medium bottles, large bottles, plastic
bottles, glass bottles, bottles of every make and manner all lined up like
little sailors abainst the walls of the counter top, ledge of the bathtub,
shower door sill, window ledge, top of the toilet tank, wherever bottles are
kept in a womens' sanctum sanctorum by the hundreds.
And all these little bottles are duly emblazened with a jug knot fastening
them to their respective walls.
Carol, I just couldn't help myself! Thanks for the information on the jug
knot and thanks for allowing me some entertainment at your ...........well,
help!
And if you think I'm gonna even think of talking about your kitchen or wine
cellar, you are mistaken! I've already pushed my luck!
Sincerely,
John LeBlanc
