Me on the phone to Nika: "I'm so excited, you don't understand. Having a bbq is like a nostalgic blast from the past. Its so exotic."

The bbq I was in charge of generated so much smoke that it wafted back into the house and set of the fire alarm. And because we live on top of a store, it sent a call to the fire department - whose response time was excellent - BOTH TIMES THE ALARM WENT OFF.

The second time, we were feeling terribly contrite. One of the firemen said, "You know, if you wanted us to come over, you could just called." To which I, for some reason, yelled at the top of my lungs in response, "I wish I had known - then I wouldn't have set the fire!!!"
