I check my mail (snail, not email) about once a week or so. All the bills are paid automatically and electronically, so usually there is nothing of substance in there.
Yesterday, I opened up the box and was surprised to find a postcard. Thinking it was erroneously delivered to me, I checked the address. I recognized the handwriting immediately as it was my own.
Such a bummer. Not only are none of my friends traveling the world and stopping at chingadera stores and buying postcards, taking the time to write something clever on them, stamping them, and sending them to me, but I also have to go to the dentist.

Finally!
So I finally did something stupid enough it warrants a post here.
I tried to reheat my coffee.
It was late in the morning and I was just sort of needing another cup. I had already had 1 cup a few hours earlier, but thought another one would be perfect. There was plenty in the pot, but it had gone cold. Now you purists will shudder at this thought, but I decided to reheat it in the microwave.
Seems simple enough, but when I reached in there with eager anticipation, the mug was so surprisingly hot I simply couldn't hold on to it. Crash! My precious coffee all over the floor and on the walls a bit too and, of course, evenly distributed between the shards of ceramic that used to be a cup.
I had a big mess to clean up, and I burnt my fingers. I'm blaming the mug, it's clearly a defective design and this incident can in no way be attributed to me leaving the coffee in the microwave too long. I'd sue the cup manufacturer if I could put enough of the pieces of the mug together to figure out who made it.
Just the night before I passed my arm over the lit stove and burnt half my arm hair off! And then there was the famous taking out the trash incident.
Am I too old for a babysitter? I simply can't be trusted not to hurt myself while doing any sort of household chores.

The new 201K retirement plan.
How's Obama's new "stimulus" package working out for you today?
The markets tell the whole story. I think we are almost back at where the DIA was when I was in college.
It's so weird how MORE spending isn't helping with the problem we have of TOO MUCH SPENDING.
My 401K is looking more like a 201K at this point. Thanks a lot, Bernanke. I'd be happy to pay for you guys to take an Econ 101 course at your local community college.
Please get a clue soon. Thx.
