life in clifton
well missy is laying on my lap so i guess it will be all little letters tonight. i have one arm cradling her. tara and i decided we'd go see avenue q. i just realized this is the first time in my life i've flown alone. i guess i'm a big girl now. i'm getting excited and nervous at the same time. i had rotary today and that was fun. still no word on new jobs. i guess i just have to be patient but it's so hard when i feel so stagnate where i am now. joe shared a story today about how his son got engaged over the weekend. he gave his girlfriend this jewelry box that was engraved but the engraving was wrong so when she opened it and showed it to him he flipped a cog and said, " damn those guys. i hope they got this right. so she opens up a smaller jewelry box that's engraved with what will be her new last name. it had a ten thousand dollar diamond inside and he asked her to marry him. pretty nice huh? ok now get this story .joe has a rosary he takes on vacation with him and this year he forgot it. they vacation at a cabin in the middle of nowhere so day one he goes on the dock to go fishing and there's a guy sitting there making guess what rosarys. joe traded a mess of fish for one. powerful story right? joe said the guy told him he'd been making them for months and this was the first one he sold. i guess the guy loved fish but said he didn't have the patience to fish so he was happy. you see it's a good day to live macdougal.
