TBW Daily Diary

Bob missed church this morning. Our household was thrown into a tizzy when the dryer died still filled with wet clothes. Bob fished them out and drove off to a public laundromat to salvage what he could. Monday he will be in the market for a new one. Warning to delivery men at Loew's, Sears, Home Depot and the rest: in the Deibler home the machines have to be carted to the third floor. You might want to call in sick if you see a dryer destined for his house . . . Uptown homes including ours are experiencing an unexplained invasion of flies. The critters are a nuisance but somewhat lethargic; they are rather easy to swat . . . There was another shooting on Restaurant Row last night, this one inside the Club Egypt. Two people were rushed to the hospital. Honestly, any more I shudder when friends say they are going downtown to eat or drink . . . Since I am feeling better we are going to resume advertising in TheBurg with the September issue . . .
