A local radio show used to stage a "Hump Attack" every Wednesday morning - it was hilarious theatre of the mind: There'd be a knock on the "studio door" with the classic "Jaws" 2-note stinger, and despite frantic warnings from the guy deejay, the girl deejay would give in, open the door, and be loudly attacked by The Hump, complete with screams and sounds of furniture breaking, etc.  Thanks for the happy memory, lennon!

Already today I've completed a 7-item writing task, did program calls, cleaned house, washed floors, done 2 loads of laundry,  unjammed the icemaker, set up J to easily pack for our trip, and swatted about 2 dozen email flies.  Still to come:
