A shameless plug

If you don’t regularly read my daughter Christina’s blog, you need to check out her current post titled, “What day is it, anyway?”

Her experiences of Thursday morning were some that most of us can relate to, and will smile at. Or laugh out loud, as I did.

You see, although she and I live in different time zones we often find ourselves commuting to and from our respective jobs at the same time. When I’m commuting and my cell phone rings, 9 times out of 10 it’s Christina.

And yes, Thursday morning she called me as she was frantically driving to work. So although I can only imagine the first “Oh, shit(!),” I actually heard her utter the second one. That’s because I was talking to her on the cell phone when she uttered it.

Read her post. You’ll understand.

Ha! I've done this before. Actually, missed my turn off due to noisy nieces and nephews sitting in the back and being in a hurry. It adds way too much stress in life.

P.S. I found you through Faith. :)

I'm glad to know about Carol's "stormy" disposition. Next time we have a drought--all you have to do is break the camera...

I've learned that when driving and my wife is giving directions, when she says turn right, I should turn left.

Yes, I can relate to that.

That was a pretty funny story - and a very bad way to start the day. I think it's very cool that you are so close to Christina. You're a good dad.

I have had days like that too, john, but not lately (I am happy to say). It is a good thing she can call you and commiserate!
