"Hey doc... Im still right here with you" And I am here for you too....
I do not know just how to explain it... Things are just going really good right now. I almost feel like anything is possible.
No word yet from the feds about the grant but I have all my paperwork in order with the school so as soon as I get the acceptance letter I am set to hit the road running…
Have two interesting stories here...
One...As I said my wife surprised me and went to my cousin’s funeral with me. It was out of the blue because I never expected her to go... Then Saturday some neighbors of my mom invited us to a ST.Patricks day party that have every year. W has been sick or something came up in years past and has not attended in years. I have gone every year... Well wife informed me that she was going to go this year... But I could tell she really did not want to go. She is not very sociable outside her friends… Later she kind of he hawed about going and I told her Me: To tell you the truth I would rather go by myself if I have to worry about you enjoying yourself the whole time. Remember when we first started dating and you used to always worry about me having a good time around your friends even though I was… W: Ya I remember Me: well that is the way I feel. It’s not that I don’t want you to go. I would like you to be there... but only if you want to be there...I am ok with that. Do you understand what I am saying? W: I know what you mean Me: Ok I will just tell them if anybody asks that you are helping your Mom… W: Thanks It felt really good to me. I felt in charge by letting go... I mean I could have felt in charge by making her go... But even though she was kind of having her way it was on my terms…IT’s hard to explain...
Ok now story two...
About ten Years ago I sold my boat to get some money so I could by W a new car I sold it to a guy I knew at work that lived about 40 miles from me. (This is important to the story) Well about two years later the guy got laid off and I lost contact with him... Last week I went to pick up my D from the bus station across town. It is located on a screwed up street and since I have my Jeep I usually just cut across this field and park there and wait for her. Well last week it was night time and as I cut across this field a came across this boat in the middle of it. I parked there to wait for my D and was looking at this boat and boy it looked familiar. So I got out and started looking at it. The trailer looked like my old one. The boat had an antenna mount like the one I installed. The cables for the depth finder I installed were there. But the boat looked like it had been parked under a tree for about 5 years and the propeller was missing. Then my D walked up and said. That looks like your old boat. I agreed. She said she remembers playing up front with her sister when she was little. Well I took a picture of the boat numbers. (What did we do before cell phone cameras) and went home and forgot about it. The next day I remembered so I got some old pictures out and IT WAS MY BOAT...
I contacted the brother if the guy I sold it to and got some bad news that his brother after getting laid off fell into the wrong crowd and was doing allot of drugs and over a year ago had a brain aneurism (sp) He was put up in a home and the drugies took over his house. He told me the last time he saw the boat it was parked alongside the house under some trees and he had no legal say about what happens at his brother’s house. I thanked him and said how sorry it was to hear about his brother... Anyway I have some connections at the P.D and am waiting to hear if it was abandoned if I could reclaim it somehow... My son (who was a baby when I had the boat) is all excited. Me... Well it needs allot of work and if I get it that is fine... If not oh well...
What is strange about this story is that it was 40 miles away from where I live. It could have been abandoned anywhere... there are hundreds of country roads. Heck it could have been left anywhere in the town I live and I would not have seen it even but it ends up in the town I live right where I would see it…
My horoscopes for the last few days have also been great… Yesterdays….

I truly do feel like I have been getting a whole SH*t load of lemons these past few years and now I am making lemon aid……….
P.S the wedding is in another two weeks….. Food… wine…. Dancing…….and…. just maybe……

And if I claim to be a wise man, well It surely means that I don't know
I sold it to a guy I knew at work that lived about 40 miles from me. (This is important to the story)
