Aaagh
Because the city of Milwaukee has decided that extension cords are too much of a fire hazard to trust an adult with them in an apartment building, and because my landlord has grievously failed to install more than a single outlet in my entire room, I have to take everything down - refrigerator, microwave, computer, lamp. I’m thinking that the alarm clock and the fan are the two most currently necessary appliances. Someone get me an electrician!

Wednesday night sailing
Every Wednesday, the South Shore Yacht Club has a nice social race. I race with a group that’s about 1/2 GE-ers and 1/2 other people from the area, on a boat named Tango in Blue, which is owned and captained by Rick Trisco. I got a few good photos tonight:
Did I mention how sweet it is to have a regular sailing engagement? Super sweet. I may even do a night-long distance race in a few weeks here.
Talk about mixing your metaphors
Someone just told me “there’s a wrench in the ointment.”
