The following excerpt is a conversation overheard today at work involving a therapist (who shall remain nameless) and the plant operator.
Therapist: "Has anybody told somebody about the broken handle thingy in the women's restroom?"
Plant Operator: (Laughs) "Has anybody told somebody?"
The conversation proceeded for several minutes to see how often each person could insert the phrase "somebody and anybody." To this therapist's credit, she did use the American term "restroom" rather than the more common usage in Canada, "washroom." It's been hard getting back in to work mode.

Whaa? No Maui pics for us. I feel denied.
don't worry, they're coming. i've just been too exhausted to compile much of anything.
Cool. I'm looking forward to the pix.
The 'anybody somebody' comment reminded me of a very corny poem that floated around years and years ago. I think it was called 'The Four Neighbors'. One of them was named 'nobody'. The theme was - when something important needed to be done - 'nobody' ended up doing it. I can't think of the 4th, but I'm sure the other two were 'anybody' and 'somebody'.
Welcome back to the real world - yeah - post some pics.
