Today I am off to London for the CodeSourcery annual meeting, plus a few days vacation in Scotland. Gotta run, catch a plane.

Michael and Julia just noticed the Elvis candle.

Julia: Must we have an Elvis candle on the mantelpiece?
Michael:The hell?
Julia: I think we have an aesthetic clash here.
[editor's note: the mantelpiece is otherwise populated with very tasteful decorative pottery]
Me: I put that there to see how long it would take one of you to notice. Congratulations!
Michael:Now that I see it, it saps my will to live!
Julia: How long has it been there?
Me: Since Saturday.
Michael:groans

In the interest of domestic tranquility, I removed it from the living room.
