in times of war

Just as I'm about to turn the light off for a good nights sleep, I look up to survey the ceiling one last time. Its a nightly ritual And lo and behold, there's a cockroach poised just above my head. Great. So, Geoff whose many titles include cockroach annihilator, comes to take care of it so I can rest my head in piece. But what does he find? Not just one, but many. PLURAL cockroaches. And not just any kind but the gargantuan flying kind. So, as I am writing this, Geoff AND our friend Lucky are now killing cockroaches in our bedroom. It sounds like a war zone in there. Sigh. Almost home.
