It was a peaceful Sunday night. I was relaxing in the den when suddenly the quiet was broken by the trill ringing of the phone. "Hello, Mr. H. May I speak to your wife?" the soft-spoken voice on the other end of the line asked.
Sounds like a pretty good beginning to a murder mystery, doesn't it? Well in all truth it is all so much more mundane. My wife has for the past several years gotten a maid to come in and do some light cleaning for us every couple of weeks, but she usually comes on a Thursday or Friday. She called last night - hence the title.
The funny thing about the maid coming is that, you guessed it, we spent an hour quickly running around the house making it presentable for the maid!
I told my wife that I thought the title was a good one to use for a book (or in this case, a blog) and she said I was crazy. As she pointed out - "The maid has to go to work somewhere every Monday."
Well, I hope you are enjoying your Monday. Mine is off to a good start. -Harry

This was the original title of this blog and another one before it. I changed it today to "Rambling Thru My Second Life" because I decided that was a better title for the content of the blog. -Harry
