Words to live by...

Several years ago I had a Murphy's Law calendar from which one of the pithy pages gave me a law I live to this day, "Never change your plans because of the weather." Seemingly simple, but it is a rather high bar to live by since we as humans invariable make excuses for things. So while it may have taken an extra scarf, more sunscreen or even an umbrella I have not broken this law.

Except for today.

Today I'm supposed to go to a BBQ, complete with swimming. And it's raining so hard even Noah's looking nervous.

So it may wind up being cancelled; but that's not the problem. The problem I have is, what the hell am I going to do with 10 pounds of potato salad? Have you ever had 10 pounds of potato salad staring back at you? Trust me, it ain't pretty.

Divide the potato salad into a bunch of small containers, label said containers "Farmer Ted's Homemade Gourmet Potato Salad", mark each container at 5 bucks and sell them off at the Italian Market!
