John, I keep meaning to tell you I laughed out loud at work over your “clutter porn” line. I don’t want you to feel taken for granted with all the marriage proposals going out to Alan. I think your posts are very funny and articulate too!

I checked it out. Nice picture of the “babe” and the “fox”…keeping with the Wayne’s World lingo.

Okay, Tracy, I’ll put you on the list, but in all fairness, Catherine did ask first. And did you mean smart or smart-assed?
Oh, and Caroline (and Catherine), there’s a better (i.e., less unflattering) photo of me in the May 3, 2009, blog entry entitled “A Reading, New Friends, Dorothy”, standing alongside Our Lady of Perpetual Clutter. She’s the babe on the left; I’m the bemused-looking guy on the right.

Caroline, thanks for the photo info. Alan *is* cute!
Alan, I’m off to the store to buy some Swiffer dusters.
(Just kidding…I don’t want you to think I’m some nutty stalker.)
I say we all marry Alan and move to Utah!

Alan, I’ll add my name to the proposal list. I love a smart man who makes me laugh. I don’t dust though, sorry.

Yes, I like to dust! I find I receive immedate results from it. But I must say that our new house has geothermal heating as opposed to a forced-air gas furnace in our previous home. The difference in the dust creation is astounding!! Seriously. Only the rooms used several times a day–bedroom, bathroom, den, living room, kitch–need a quick dusting each day. (Again….anal personality….) The guest rooms and bathroom rarely need dusting or even deep cleaning, unless a guest is expected. And I like those Swiffer dusters.

Oh, now I’m all flustered…and flattered. Catherine, thanks for the proposal; they certainly don’t come my way every day. I say, hold that thought; anything is possible! (By the way, do you dust?)

Catherine — if he does marry you, you must include in your vows that he is OUR man of the blog, before YOUR hubby!
Oh — he’s cute too — there are pictures somewhere in the archives!
