Disturbing Omens

Yesterday, there was a flood of cheese. Today, there was a blizzard of labels. Ill portents, surely.

Apparently, a truck carrying mozzarella cheese turned over yesterday in Tampa, spilling cheese onto the highway and creating a driving hazard. Cheese everywhere. Fortunately, I didn't encounter that — however, today I had to drive through a flurry of fanfold mailing labels that had blown out of a truck. A segment of fanfold got stuck onto my headlight, so I had to continue the drive into work with a 6-foot banner flapping madly on the hood. Very distracting.

Last night, Karen and I went to see Robert Schimmel at the Tampa Improv. He was hilarious, as was Jim Short, the comedian who opened for him. A good time was had by all.

Addendum: Well, Robert Schimmel's site is certainly out of date. It says we can catch him live in St. Louis on December 15, 2000. Sherman, into the Wayback Machine!
