Caffeine Jones gold star awards


Awards time!

Today's Good Neighbor Award goes to Alberta Co-op, for thinking of us
when their freezer went kaput. They gave us enough ice cream to supply
two bands for a week. This was a boon to ice cream eaters, but not so
much to the co-op. I am taking donations for their freezer fund.

I am pleased and proud to be able to award 3...count 'em, three gold stars to Clown House members!
Gold Star #1 goes to Loren, for diligence in completing his chores. Even
when he only sort-of lived here, Loren has obeyed the chore wheel,
whenever he has been in town. Thanks, Loren!
Gold Star #2 (I said number two, heh-heh...) goes our new roomie, David,
(The one I hired by accident), not only for exemplary completion of his
chores, but for removing the poop that had been stuck to the underside
of the toilet for several weeks. Thanks, David, for making the toilet
safe for the dog and baby to play in, once again!
Gold Star # 3 goes to Miss Bizzy Bawdy, for her intrepid investigation
into the broken washing machine. After studying those mysterious
cleaning droids on the World Wide Web, Miz Biz had deduced that they
have a clutch, and ours is broken. Now, if anyone can tell us where to
get a washing machine clutch...
Also, please email her with donations and condolences. She has taken the
recent death of Former President Gerald Ford very hard, and she is
seeking $$ to fund a pilgrimage to DC, to pay her respects.

Finally, I have the sad duty of handing out another Take One For the
Team Award, to Dingo, who is coughing miserably in front of me, right
now. Sicker than the dog he is named after, Dingo has been trotting off
to work, as usual, while still playing the role of circus boss, feeding
his family, and putting up with me. I remember all the sick days I've
slogged through, D, and I am truly grateful for your sacrifice.

Thanks, team! Let's give them a round of applause!
And remember to congratulate our winners when you see them. Gifts of
money, food, massage, etc, would be appreciated.
