Sunday: The Weather Ruined My Day


Today, I have eaten terrible food and spent an inordinate amount of time on ebay. (Do I need a leather jacket? Do I?) The weather in Franklin was horrible. It rained all day at a fever pitch and the Harpeth River flooded and washed out the bridge in downtown Franklin. They had to evacuate many people and they cancelled CHURCH today. Things are really bad when they cancel church.
Church was cancelled, then swim was cancelled, and then Franklin as a city was pretty much cancelled. We had a 6:00 PM curfew like a war zone or a communist state. Hard times.

Anyway, confession, I have done nothing today. NOTHING. I have surfed the internet and thought vaguely about riding the trainer. I parted my hair to the left, just to see what I thought about it. I slept really late and drank a bunch of tea. I ate a bowl of manicotti at the ONE restaurant that disregarded the Franklin curfew, where they had only two people waiting tables, both of whom were Scottish. Weird, right? If they had not been so understaffed, I would have gotten to the bottom of how two relatively attractive Scottsmen ended up waiting tables in Cool Springs. They had no time for me, however.

Finally, all the shops and eating establishments in Franklin and Cool Springs were closed, but the play yard (germ pit) was open, so we took Ivan and let him run his energy out. He sprinted the full length of the deserted mall. It was weird.

All the local schools are closed tomorrow. Oh, please let there be swim; I have eaten so much reckless cheese today.
