[lift mug - take sip]
Oh dangit, WAY TOO HOT! Tongue feels like sandpaper.
[lower mug  - ka-plunk!]
[splash of hot-liquid recoiling directly into right eye]

My 3.7 year old daughter asked me, “Daddy, band-aid for eye?” Yes, Grace, band-aid for eye.

So the lessons of the entry:  If you have a plan, chances are, you’ll get to where you want or need to go.  When things come up (ex: searing hot coffee scorching tongue and eye), you may need to adjust, reschedule.  MySQL configured. WordPress installed.  Warm, inviting, and clever first blog post, rescheduled for tomorrow.
