rant is where the heart is

In which our plucky young hero lays out his plans.

So, what am I doing with the amount of money I have lying around that I really don't deserve?

First, I'm renewing my passport. I think there is a time and a place for finding out that U.S. Customs now requires a passport for you to enter their nation on a commercial airline flight. In line at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport with a connecting flight that departs in 50 minutes is neither the time nor the place.

Second, office supplies! It is downright scary how well you can live with only what you can purchase from an office supply catalogs, now that they have moved from mere distributors of paperclips by the gross and into the whole office lifestyle niche. Need a refrigerator? Page 169. Television? Page 118. Hungry? Chips, cookies, and ramen noodles on page 152, and you can wash that down with coffee from page 153 (coffeemakers, page 171) or some bottled water from page 170. If they sold air mattresses that you could put on top of a cherrywood executive desk, you'd never need to leave the office. And come to think of it, some of those leather executive chairs look mighty comfortable....

Third? Third, but certainly most important of all: sweet, sweet wine. Ladies and gentlemen, the weeknight drinker is back, and this time, he's brought a corkscrew.
