things I need to do in the course of the next two weeks. Top dead center project is repainting our guest bedroom. When we moved in here in 2001, I painted the room a color that can be best described as dusty rose. The color we selected in Home Depot looked nothing like what I applied to the walls that day long ago. We settled in the color because at the time we thought we would repaint it soon. Well, soon turned into seven years and now is a good time to right the wrong of dusty rose. There was some minor collateral damage done to the wall in that bedroom when our main bathroom was remodeled, so there is a streak of spackle and dry wall mud along one of the walls. Thus, now is the time to get the room ready for our next visitor. We will be purchasing Olympic paint for the ceiling and the walls. The plan is to paint the ceiling and edges white this morning, and then attack the walls this afternoon once the ceiling is dry. It is all about the process, baby!

On the clock...
Since I have accepted a position with GE Aviation, my time to dither and dather around the house is fast coming to an end. I have been looking at my honey-doo list and I am prioritizing the

SO JUST WHAT IS A COMCAST HOUR?
For those of you who have been following my trails and tribulations with Comcast, yesterday afternoon I was told by one of the company's customer service technicians (Lorraine) that a supervisor would call me back "within one hour" of the end of my phone call with her to tell me why they screwed up the automatic bill payment we had set up and that they arbitrarily canceled. I asked her, "When you say an hour, is that an hour in real time, or is this a Comcast hour? In my previous line of work, there was "real time" and "maintenance time." A maintenance hour was invariably a lot longer than 60 minutes. Lorraine assured me that within 60 minutes a supervisor would call me regarding this issue. Well, it has now been 21 hours and 11 minutes since I ended my conversation with Lorraine and I have yet to hear from anyone at Comcast. Today is also the day that our HDTV box is to be delivered to us. As of this posting, nothing has arrived for us.
