The repair dudes used my den trash can and I've gotten to replace the liner. So I didn't want to scoop out the leftover soap in the bowl and have it stick to the can. Thus, today's shave. And there's a little something about my day you didn't wake up expecting to know about.

Our union friends and our corporate friends still find themselves at an impasse. Impasse is such a gentle-sounding word compared to the devastation that often accompanies the situations that surround it. In this case, the potential for the largest healthcare strike in the US starting next Wednesday.

Honestly, you’d think a good manservant would already speak French.
It's already been established (although BDave insists that the facts are in dispute) that Stefan is not from Europe. He's from Tarzana, CA. His french has been acquired over the years of Manservanting for BougieDave. BougieDave prefers his help to sound "continental"....for some reason.

Oops, missed a couple of days. Ma bad. So the wife and I were supposed to go have drinks in the city, but she's getting over a pretty bad cold, so that's off the table. I'll just spend most of the day in strike preparation. We've already hired almost 7,000 replacement workers so things are ramping up quickly. Good times. I did order the stuff to do cold smoking as per @Fenster on our last live show. Smoked Deviled eggs this weekend!

Happy Friday all! Almost to that weekend!
GTB Friday, buddy!! What! What!?

Today is the start to a different type of week. Do the birthday "celebration" tonight with my daughter's boyfriend coming over because he has a gift for me. 😐 Then the youngest goes to the airport for San Diego. Tomorrow my wife goes to the airport to leave for a week in San Diego for work. Then in the evening, I pick up the youngest from her 22-hour trip. Then it's a week of no wife at home and strike starting on Wednesday. When the oldest and her friend show up on Thursday to hang out with their friends for the weekend and maybe sleep in the house and borrow a car. I dunno man, I just work here.

Knowing that his future father-in-law is into booze and shaving, I bet he's going to introduce him to the modern world with some WhiteClaw and a One Blade!!

What a thoughtful young man.
