Water Heaters...

The following entry is only a personal theory and should seriously be taken with a grain of salt, okay, maybe salt of the equivalent in the Great Salt Lake.

My theory is that if you must begin your day with a cold shower the day will only proceed downhill from there. Nothing good follows a cold shower. Cold showers are a form of 19th century torture that could be considered under the following of "cruel and unusual punishment".

Last week I experienced a series of misfortunate events (to borrow a phrase). Each day's events followed a short and unpleasant cold shower. The cold shower was a direct result of my water heater malfunctioning.

Since Saturday my water heater is in proper working order, and I'm happy to be again basking in a warm shower each morning. With the return of the warm shower my unfortunate events have evaporated and I'm now back to normal day status.

Without any of the gory details of last weeks events you'll have to take my word on the cold shower theory. Then again if you've ever had the misfortunate to experience your own cold shower I'm sure you could sympathize with the idea that starting your day with a cold shower doesn't bode well for the rest of the day.

So, I wish you all the best and may warm showers greet you each morning.
