Solutions
I have a wonderful friend who is painting the basement as a house warming gift. While engaged in this project, he also helped with the mind bending problem of the light fixture over the stairs.

Some poor fool called while I was in the middle of emailing my editor because I STILL HAD NOTHING IN MY IN BOX from her. Needless to say I was feeling less than kind, but I rushed to answer the phone, swallowing all the ire I had brought up to write the email. It was…
