So every year when my elderly (but sharp) neighbours across the road go to Florida, I look after their house. Bring in the mail, turn on random lights, flush toilets, that sort of thing.

4:30 I went over, brought in the mail and the place had been broken into.

Must have happened last night or today. Drawers dumped out, screens off windows (they came in through the back). Called their lawyer son and then called 911 and was on hold for 3 or 5 minutes!

Cops still aren;t there 90 minutes later, but the lawyer son is. He looked around, didn't touch anything and figured that the thieves got nothing of value. no vandalism, no theft of mementoes or anything.

Dawns on me that I should have run over to my house to make the calls, just in case. I can see the house through my office window.

Clearly, the took off the screen on the window facing the backyard, climbed in, went to the bedrooms and dumped out drawers... but only the top three or four of each dresser. Weird.

Good luck!

That sounds like an ad for one of the jewelry companies - are you going to wrap it like a regular gift?

I'm envisioning a big bow you put on the hood of a Lexus and underneath it is the ring. That would be great.

Can I make a joke about you getting down on one knee then reaching down to put the ring on her finger or are we playing this one straight? Congrats, man.

Because some judges still refuse to allow still and/or video cameras in their court rooms.

Good for the judges who don't allow cameras because these sketches are always great.

I get that, but why not just show a still photo of the guy? This could be any of the extras on "The Sopranos."

I meant just a picture taken anywhere - not in the courthouse.

But that would rob us of the pleasure of these brutal drawings!

Hopefully, this doesn't end in two weeks with the fiancee blowing up at TT because there is no Christmas gift.

Congratulations. Now your job is to just say yes to basically whatever she wants for the wedding. Paying for some of that shit is going to grind your gears but in the end it's worth if it she's happy.

The trick to surviving the wedding planning stress is to focus on what's important... the honeymoon.
