Unscheduled Day!

     One of the gifts of the OFH is laundry apparatus in the apartments. The washers and dryers are very large. Very short persons complain that they can't reach the bottom of the washer. Not a problem for me. So, an unscheduled day like this is a good day to catch up on laundry,  The only down side is that the dryer spooks Kaia. Consequently, we stay as far as we can from the dryer when it's running. That means the bedroom but,. because it's where the computer resides, there is activity for me. Two closed doors, the laundry room and the bedroom, helps her a bit.

   Here's an OFH story. Bob, an inmate told this at men's coffee. When he was being considered for the position of president of the University of Texas, there were 9 men on the University's selection committee. He was chosen on a 5 to 4 vote. Later one of the nine men said that he voted for Bob because he was tall.  

   Mostly I've liked being tall but there's been exceptions. Airplane seats are not designed for tall people and I've flown a lot. Then there was boot camp. One of the most trying exercises involved doing calisthenics with utility poles. Lined up by height by the poles I always was on the heavy end. Ed is convinced that many recruits weren't really doing their part. These exercises were done in loose sand which added to the difficulty. Do not try lifting utility poles over your head at home!😀   

Takk for alt.
