Note to self: Never again iron clothes while standing in a puddle of water, naked. The jolt of electricity sent me across the room, where I took out a dining room table leg and two ribs. Oh, and the hot iron made a nice impression on the floor. Plus you can see me on Dateline soon because my landlord is going to kill me.
My wife Heather works full time now because I can’t do shows or work at a regular job anymore. So I get up early to start the coffee, iron her clothes, get her medicine out and pack her lunch. Since I stay home and write, I think it’s the least I can do to say thank you for going to work everyday.
When I tell people that, they always tell me what a great husband I am. I say, “Wait a minute. These trivial tasks take all of about 45 minutes. She’s going to work for eight hours!” I know! She’s the terrific one. What makes me a good husband is not breaking things while she’s gone all day.
What can I say? I get bored. Once, it was snowing and I really wanted to pitch baseballs so I hooked up my pitching machine in the entry way. I put up netting to catch the balls, but didn’t think about foul balls backward. I took out two lamps, a picture window and some china. Now the only thing I break is an occasional game record on my phone.

After the pitching machine incident, I’m surprised your wife hasn’t hired a sitter to keep an eye on you while she’s at work! 😉

There is no way, I repeat NO way the iron is actually on in that picture. No guy is going have a live iron…that close…..Well if he is, I don’t want to know him.

Yeah, makes a guy go…’Ohhhh. No way. No Way!’ and then (since part of a man never develops past 14) you revert to adolescent humour and start to snigger for all sorts inappropriate reasons which would make your spouse roll her eyes.

And just as well there’s not another guy with you looking at the picture as the gross jokes really get out of control.

Uh-ho…Sheila’s giving me that ‘look’ when I’m typing too fast and sniggering, and then just sniggering..Best wind-down for the night.
See you tomorrow Jerry
