Here Comes The Gov

Governor David Patterson is coming to Matt's NYSWDA training center today. He will take a tour of the facility, designed and built by Matt, and sign a new energy bill into law. Matt was nervous as a cat yesterday, getting his clothes ready, trimming his mustache and toenails (?!) and checking his clothes again. The bedroom was not a safe enough place to put his outfit, so he took it out to the truck. The governor's advance team came last week and moved things all around, which frustrated Matt, but the honor of having the state's top official come by and look things over soothed the savage beast. I told Matt I'm happy he finally has a career where he can apply his talents and creativity. He says his job makes him a better person. Yes, keeping people warm is a very noble endeavor, and saving energy will save the planet. In the meantime, how the heck do I get the rooster who is stuck behind the hot water heater in the milk room out from his prison? He must have been sitting on top and somehow fell behind. The crowing tells me he's alive, and I know he's toasty warm. I might have to call the Brookfield Fire Department since Matt is off to meet the governor. Wouldn't they be amused!
