Blog Post: When Dante's Peak blows - from your cupboard.

I'll be heading back to work full time in a few weeks. And so I've been asking what needs to be done around the house prior to my transition.

Today it's clean out the cupboards day.

I'm taking out every item we have and checking expiration dates.
To keep me entertained I watched "Dante's Peak" - the movie starring Pierce Bronsan saving a town from a volcano about to blow.
As Dante's Peak blows - I pull my hand out from below the lazy susan and I think I'm bleeding to death. I feel no pain but I am watching lava go down my
arm at the same time it rushes near Pierce. I use two paper towel rolls to stop my home eruption coming from the cupboard. I find out what happened as I sweep out a red food coloring bottle which had crashed to the floor of the cupboard. The movie scoreline crescendos into fear and escalates to terror as I try to stop my own personal destruction.

I can see how people may try to connect the dots and say that this eruption in my life shows disruption and chaos.I see it as just another day .... another very exciting day indeed! As the credits roll, I google how to remove red food coloring from the palm of your hands.
