How Did I Get Here?


Things I've said recently that were earnest at the time but, upon reflection, seem really ludicrous:
  • "What on earth did the pool guy do to the pool? That's it, time to fire him."
  • "Where do you suppose the maid put our new champagne glasses?"
  • "Our driver got in an accident? But we were supposed to go out for dinner tonight!"
  • "He can't go to a funeral! He has to get the generator working first."
  • "We are almost out of Chinese tea. When we go to Hong Kong let's buy some more."

Monsoon in Chennai

The word monsoon brings to mind, for me, life-threatening storms with torrential rain and winds. Turns out it's just an extended period of regular and, yes, heavy rains. But not so windy and definitely not life-threatening.
