Lava Liability


Well, it's Saturday morning and there's already been some excitement. I knew something was up when I spotted Larry running/limping (scorpion sting) down the stairs then running/limping back up frantically with a towel in one hand and a roll of paper towels trailing in the other. In an innocent attempt to turn on the Lava lamp, it ended up broken (more like exploded) with green "lava" all over the light beige carpet. Regardless of what you might see on the tv commercials for cleaning products - there was nothing easy or magical about the effort involved in this multi-surface cleanup of the carpet, wall, desk, computer, musical instruments, etc. I have to say I am mighty impressed with the final result, though.


Maybe there is a reason Lava lamps went out of style. Or perhaps the revival has been sponsored by the carpet industry.
