No, Karen and I aren’t about to endure anything even remotely close to Biblical. In preparation for her parents’ visit to Chicago and — apparently, the apocalypse — Karen ordered 12 two-liter bottles of soda pop and six (6) jugs of drinking water from Peapod.

“They were on sale!” she said and, it’s true, they were. Only 99 cents each for the pop. But still. You’d have thought we were about to host a really big Boy Scout meeting or something.

I don’t even know if Karen’s parents drink soda. This no doubt will be the first evidence used at Karen’s trial for involuntary commitment to a mental facility.
