Live Wire

Anne looks a little worried here, like in, “What are you doing, Mark?” But enough about me. Yesterday, Two Blind Guys showed up at the house. Anne had the day off and I took off from work to meet them too. It took less than an hour. When we had the living and dining redone this year are ratty old curtains were consigned to garbage bags and had been languishing upstairs until this week, when I threw them out. We got the new window treatment bid last night and it was as expensive as all of the advertised discounts foreshadowed. Still, we’ll likely get them. Them being five new Hunter Douglas top-down/bottom-up blinds. They will be very similar to ones that Jay and Carl got during their rehab. Installation should take even less time than the sales pitch and soon all the single women that surround me and the married woman who I live with can begin to rejoice and stop averting their eyes or telling me, “Get dressed, Mark!”
