I jumped out of bed this morning and shaved in cold water, but it was still late by the time I left for work after the plumbers had removed our old water heater. I went to City Hall to pay the real estate tax, and then across the street to the library to return one irrelevant book and start my February reading by taking out a couple of plays by August Wilson. I’m pretty sure what I have are Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom and Jitney.
I filled up the gas tank on the way to work. Bruno’s station finally has pay-at-the-pump pumps! It’s always been awfully slow there, since the attendant has had to go into his booth to fill out a credit card slip up to now.
