Re: Cruel cosmic jokes....

When I lose something I sit down quietly and try to
remember wher I left the thing I lost
or think of the last place I saw it, then I call out

Coyote Coyote Coyote
I've lost *such and such*
and then I laugh, asking
"could you help me out finding it"

It works every time....

So, here I was this morning feeling good.... got up early, took a
shower, was gonna do about 30 miles before going to work (where I would
take another shower), got suited up in my riding clothes, pulled on my
cycling shoes, grabbed my helmet and gloves.... that was when the
cruelest of cosmic jokes was played on me.

The universe decided that today was the day to play that wacky cosmic
game of "LET'S HIDE BILL'S KEYS" !!! Jen left for work so I know she
didn't have them.... so I proceeded to tear the house apart.

Have you ever played this game ?? I looked everywhere.... went through
all the pockets of all the pants I wore in the past 72 hours, checked
the pockets on all my cycling jerseys, inside all mine and her shoes,
even went through the trash.... pulled the dirty dishes out of the
sink, pulled the ice bucket out of the freezer, opened the rice
container, pulled the cushions off the sofa and reached into the
crevises along the side (for $.78 and 4 lighters).

I tore through the house like a tornado.... the problem is that without
my keys I go nowhere.... becuz on the key rind is the key to the lock
on my bike..... it's like not having your car key.

Man, so I gave up after 2 1/2 hours of looking.... made some coffee and
thought "*** it, I'll just cut it off".... only problem is that being
in the cycling industry I don't use cheapo $3.00 locks from Walmart....
I use the heavy duty kevlar reinforced steel cable locks that cost $40.

BUT, I have a brand new blade on my hacksaw, a pair of metal shears,
and nothing but time.

Took me about 15 minutes to finally cut through it using both tools....
the blade on the hacksaw is duller than dog*** now, the shears will
need to be sharpened..... and I still do not have my keys.

AH, but I got over on the universe.... I have a back up lock similar to
the one I had on there.... only it is a combo lock.... no need for
keys.... now if I can only figure out how to lock the house when I
leave that would be great.

No, I'm not paranoid.... the universe is out to get me.
