The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind.
~ Khalil Gibran

My house is an interesting place to live. You may have surmised that reading some of the other entries in this blog. Or you may think that I made all that stuff up. Either way I win — I either live in an interesting place or I have a freakish imagination.
But I digress...
There are lots of different kinds of houses:
Almshouse - charitable housing provided to people to allow them to live in a particular community.
Boardinghouse - lodgers for extended periods
Chouse - cheat, trick, defraud
Clubhouse - a house where cavemen kept their clubs. why they lived in caves and kept their clubs in houses remains a mystery of the ancient past.
Flophouse / Dosshouse - cheap lodging, minimal services
So what kind of house do I live in? A slaughterhouse. Except without that first s.
