BIG props!

BIG props to Jane's dad, L. Johnston, for cleaning the dog poo off of my shoe tonight. What an amazing guy! I walked thru Jane's grass this evening, and managed to step in a big pile of poo. I told Jane about it, Mr. J overheard, and in the dark he undertook steps to hose off my shoe AND remove the poo from the grass so that no one else fell victim. For a Thanksgiving Eve, this was sure nice of him. Big props!!

Moment of terror today at work, when all of a sudden the computers turned off and the surge protector alarms went off. The lights in the office remained on, membership's computers were working just fine across the way, so we were certain it was NOT a widespread power problem. It occurred to us that perhaps the computers had finally melted down. Laurianne and I frantically paced back and forth, truly uncertain as to what to do next. I ran to the phone and called the finance department. No one answered. We panicked further. Then it dawned on me that an electrician might be in our back area, working on Zoolights stuff. Sure enough, there was a guy! I asked him to restore our power and he was more than willing to flip the breaker back on. Laurianne and I proceeded to sit/stand around debriefing and calming back down for another five minutes. What a scare!
