And you thought that Christmas with the in-laws was bad . . .
DES MOINES, Iowa - It was a stinky holiday for Robert Schoff.
The 77-year-old man spent part of Christmas Eve stuck upside down in the opening of his septic tank, with his head inside and his feet kicking in the air above.
"It wasn't good, I'll tell you what," Schoff said Tuesday. "It was the worst Christmas Eve I've ever had."
Schoff reached into the tank Monday in an effort to find a clog, but he lost his balance and got wedged into the opening.
Nah. I know the real story. His wife's kids from a previous marriage were visiting, and they're evangelicals.
Or maybe he'd finally had enough of the presidential ads on TV? It gets pretty bad up there.

At least we can choose our friends.
I almost wish I could have joined Mr. Schoff.
It beat the Christmas I had no time for. It was just mom and me. No wife, no kids, no relatives, no gifts, no lights, no tree, no music and... Mommy dearest's biological clock is broken and I'm catching sleep in two hour intervals like some precivilization hominid surrounded by predatory cats. Being stuck anywhere at least would have given me a break! Some day I'll look back at this and laugh... nah.
Please, in the coming week everyone have a drink for me.
End of whine.
Gladly.
Gladly, OGeorge. Hang in there, best you can. It's brutal in phases, just exhausting in others. I post about it here some, more on my blog if you ever feel the need for some other perspective. And of course you're always welcome to drop me a note to chat.
