Come to think of it, I did rationalize today. I talked Mrs. B into having brunch at a place which is just a couple doors down from the new Rockler Hardware location. I suggested a table next to the window where we could see the new RH and while we were eating and, . . . . .

I said, "I believe that I just saw xxxxx (fellow club member and great friend) go into RH".
She: "Well, don't you think that we ought to go say hi to him?"
Mr. Rationalization: "Of course, we should. And, you might even see something that we need while we are there."

A little thing like the remnants of tropical storm Bill wasn't going to interfere with visiting a good friend. The old location of RH was close to home and the new location is almost within walking distance. This could be bad (in a good way, with the right rationalization). I guess that our good old friend must have left by the back way since we didn't see him there.

I rest my case. Or rather, mr. Golblum does. :D

That would be RH, rationalization hardware?
