Today it felt like Houston outside, soggy cottonball air and oppressive heat. Local news on Fox has a special tonight at nine about how your home may have a disturbing past and why real estate agents may not tell you! You may be living in a stigmatized home! *insert dramatic music* I've lived in houses thick with old lives, and it didn't change anything.

My workout kicked my ass tonight, and I rewarded myself with lots of time in the pool and the hot tub. The gym has this enormous bubbling tub of warm water, large enough to seat two dozen people. It seems that with a different set of tile, it would be the sort of thing Lucius would have. I rested in the hot tub and thought about stories I want to write one day.

Work provided free sandwiches for us today, from Thundercloud subs. But those crazy hippies at Thundercloud couldn't get it together and lunch was more than an hour late. Kim was vastly annoyed. Granted, 158 sandwiches is a tall order. But if they couldn't do it, then why did they take the job? It made my already irritable supervisor nearly have a coronary from rage. Then he had a group meeting and announced Duane would no longer be with us. When someone asked if he had left the company or just transferred, Tim asked if he wanted to be the next to leave. That gave everyone the impression Duane got fired, and left us all with a bad taste in our mouths. I like Tim as a boss, but not when he's stalking around looking for reasons to make snide comments.

At home, I found the snazziest chinese take-out menu ever. Full color, pictures of dishes, fancy graphics and still many odd English phrases. We shall have to try it sometime I think. Right now I'm having a snack and watching the Simpsons. Alan is out helping Brett try to buy a car.

I'm watching Sixty Minutes and they just ran a video shot by a soldier working at Camp Bucca in Iraq. She was young, and had a southern accent, joined the military to pay for college. It was like something from another world.

But I find it easy to understand how the familiarity could breed contempt. It's scary.
