So I got this job offer...

[trof]

Just came in an email.
What do you think?
Should I take it?
I'm a 72 year old male.
I guess I could 'keep house'.
I think I'm pretty 'caring'.
I sure wouldn't mind 'Three months' in London.
And the money would sure come in handy.

1. Heh! I'd hire you, Trof, in a NY minute.:-)

[trof]

3. How big is your house?

I cook, but I don't do windows.



How ya doin'?

5. Lots of windows and I don't do them either...

and you'd have to share a room with the dog...and the other dog...and the cat.

I'm doing great. Hope you all are too.

6. I'm fine with dogs and cats.

I'm leery of snakes though.
At least when it comes to sleeping with them.
We're still plugging along.
Planning a trip to see our daughter and family in a week or so.
back atcha'.

7. Someone may be troffling with you

8. The plot thickens, and this is really weird.

I forwarded the email to a Brit friend.
She called me.
"That's my son's address in Liverpool!"
It's a building of flats, and the address was one number off.
But the address actually exists.

Cue Twilight Zone theme.
