take it from me, life's a grand ol' time

Toronto, 2013.01.14

One of my coworkers came stomping into the office today just as I'd returned to my desk with a wry smile on my face—it looks like we'll be undergoing a new round of struggles with our building management in getting our kitchen sink onclogged yet again. This tends to be a frustrating and curiously expensive undertaking. What can you do but laugh.

My colleague asked, "What's funny?"

"Oh," I said, "life's a grand ol' time."

"Psssh!" he replied.

"You can take it from me," I told him.

He laughed at that.

Another victory for laughter!
