Strength of Character

Today I visited a friend and mentor dying in hospice care. It has been a day I'd like to both forget and remember for the rest of my life. Do not allow your own fear determine your strength of character. These are the days.

To the person who parked 4" from my driver's door…thank you for providing the lunch time entertainment. I'm sure it was hilarious for everyone in the restaurant to watch me first try to open the wide, single door on the roadster 4" to get in, not going to happen, go into the restaurant ask who owns the BMW - unsuccessful at finding the SUV's owner, go back out to the car, then try to get in the passenger side and side over the console only to not be able to maneuver my long legs to get them under the wheel, get a charlie horse, crawl back out as I spill my tea on the seat. Scratched me head and then realize I can pop the top, do that, reaching into the car, start it up and lower the windows. Then I step over the door and into the driver's seat. Ahh…success.


I am working on my contortion act. Next show in one week.
