: Welcome to my Life
What follows is an actual exchange between me and my wife – pretty much verbatim:
Me (calling from the front hallway): Lisa, where are you?
Lisa: I’m upstairs (at least that’s what I though she said)
I proceed to go upstairs. I look in the old playroom, my son’s old room, the guest room, my daughter’s old room, and the bathroom. Lisa is not there.
Me (calling from the 2nd floor): Lisa, where are you?
Lisa (her voice now sounds a little muffled): I’m upstairs (at least that’s what I though she said)
I proceed to go to the attic. I look in the back room, I look in our bedroom. Lisa is not there.
Me (calling from the attic): Where are you?
Lisa (her voice now sounds even more muffled): I’m mmmmmmmm (I can’t make out what she’s saying, but I know she’s not in the attic.)
I go back to the second floor. I look in the old playroom, my son’s old room, the guest room, my daughter’s old room, and the bathroom. Lisa is not there.
Me (calling from the 2nd floor): Where are you?
Lisa (her voice now sounds a little less muffled): I’m right here.
I have now deduced that Lisa is not in the attic or on the second floor. I proceed to go downstairs. I go in the kitchen. Lisa is not there. I go to the front hallway. Lisa is not there.
Me: Where are you?
Lisa (now I hear her voice coming from the living room): I’m right here.
My wife has been in the living room all along.
I wish I could package & sell the comedy routines that make up my daily life – I could quit my day job. In the meanwhile, Lisa & I agree that we need to buy one of those tiny one room mini-houses so this doesn’t happen again.

Apr 9th, Saturday, 9:00PM-1:00ish – Better Off Dead at The Great Notch Inn, Route 46, Little Falls (973) 256-7742
The Great Notch Inn (AKA GNI, AKA “The Notch”) has been in the news recently. The Dept of Transportation is “re-wiring” the route 3/46 intersection – which involves lots of bulldozers, cranes, and paving equipment. For a while it looked like GNI would be buried under a layer of hot asphalt. But “The Notch” will continue to stand strong – albeit on an island between routes 3 & 46. Here’s an article which gives details, along with some history of how GNI came to be:

This is a new place for SJ&M so I can only report that I’ve heard good things about it. SJ&M continues to pump out that red hot blues (to mix some metaphors).
