Flamenco, flamingos, and fantasy

Location: Eureka, California, US
Birthday: May 18

Title: Commerical Maintenance
Company: NCCS Inc.

Bio: As a child, I decided that I would become a nuclear physicist. I dreamed that the prettiest girl in third grade was my secretary, as we rode around in a spaceship. I read all the Hardy Boys mysteries. About that time, my parents started saying that I talked too much. I was sent to a prep school on the East Coast. For me, it was a lonely and sometimes cruel place. It didn't bother me that often. As Barney has said, "Our Imagination is a very good place to be!" In 1985, I remodeled a kitchen, and used the money to buy a bicycle. I trekked to Sun Valley, Idaho, and became a ski bum. I now am somewhat arthritic, and I read a lot of theology books. My soul is decidedly triangular.

Roz Chast's cartoon, from the New Yorker

Sorry about this, but I can't keep it to myself any more. Your chent* is completely out of hand. It is bad enough that I have to coexist with it in my house, but you are not taking care of your side of the bargain, as I am definitely not a chent person. Please keep the chent area better organized, if you want to have any sanity prevail when I am home.

While I am at it, I have been finding a lot of spak* around. This is unacceptable.

Yesterday, when I was organizing my desk, I found that kabe* and tiv* were missing. Also, a single kellat*. You know I cannot abide misplaced pairs. I could scream.

The other night, I was soundly sleeping, and the redge* woke me up. You know what a light sleeper I am. Please inform all family members not to leave the redge on. I can't afford to lay in bed, eyes wide open, worrying about kellat*, and enker*.

Also, please refrain from mentioning hackeb* when we are sitting at the table. It always makes me furious. The last time you brought it up, I left the table, and tripped over a sood* someone left on the floor. Can't anyone put things away?

Finally, there is the matter of bie*. To bie, or not to bie, that is the question...
