Urgent Phone Calls

While unloading the car (two of us, two trips) from a three-day trip I heard my cell phone ringing on the kitchen counter. Missed it. Rang again. Missed it.

It was my friend and neighbor telling me to go outside right away. Turns out a bunch of neighbors were interviewed for a story in the local paper that is supposed to come out tomorrow.

We’ll see how it turns out. It’s all about this park that recently opened and there is some controversy as the park was planned well but no-one accounted for simple things like trash and parking before opening it. So a bunch of us were asked questions by the reporter.

Jim’s in a suit and tie today on interviews. He looks great, after his haircut yesterday. Normally in his line of work dress slacks and pressed dress shirt work, with solid leather shoes. But interviewing, it helps to wear a suit.

Things are looking up. It’s a tough market out there job-wise. So all you kids out there get a good education, major in the hard stuff (math and science) and then the world’s your oyster.

Me, I majored in the soft stuff and did OK. Twenty years after graduating I married Jim, who is worlds smarter than me but doesn’t write as well. He can do calculus in his head but doesn’t know his shirt size, and the furthest he’s come in cooking is a grilled cheese sandwich!

Hope you’re having a great summer. Dee
