I had a service tech from Current Mechanical here today to determine why my furnace was blowing warm, then cold air. An amiable fellow, we chatted periodically while he worked. About an hour into his ministrations, which included two trips to my roof, he determined that I needed....a new filter. We agreed it was a little embarrassing that neither of us had thought to check the obvious first. But the 4-year old furnace got a good look over, cleaning, and diagnosing. And I promised I wouldn't tell anyone.

Current is one block from Deister and at one point he asked, "Do you take Maumee to work?" But I heard "Do you take mommy to work?" We both had a good laugh over that one.

I know this is a few months late, but I just found where I had jotted these down. Favorite commentator quotes from the Olympics:

"And once again, it was that damned pommel horse." -Al Trautwig, after yet another epic fail on this most treacherous apparatus

"It doesn't matter who stands before a 6'5" Hooker." -Announcer, following a kill by U.S. volleyball player Destinee Hooker
