Doing the News

Sometimes on days such as this...a simple “shalom” and offer of a sincere thought for someone to be well works wonders. So for the gentleman in the lunch queue at Neomonde wearing that beautifully embroidered kippah who did so for me today...you’ve made this trying day just a wee bit better which is a gift beyond words.

We saw this whilst at garage getting four new tyres mounted...such a cool idea! Now if only I could have it recharge camera batteries... :)

So we trek on down to Fuquay this morning for High 5 Buddies which is Alexander’s special dance class for special kids which had been moved from its usual date due to the dance competition being moved from Hickory to Morehead City for last weekend. Annnnnnnnnnnnd…Alex was the only dancer to turn up for class along with his teacher. So as you might imagine, class was in the bin today. As we are wandering back…

So I’m brimming the tank with petrol and I’m parked behind a guy driving a van for a local funeral home. Of course…I can’t resist asking him if he’s tempted to call out “bring out yer dead!” whilst out and about on his errands. Because you know I totally would… ;)

VAGUE DISAPPOINTMENT Example: When you're driving back from a weekend dance competition in Morehead City singing along to James Taylor's "You've Got a Friend" and you're anticipating Carole King jumping in and she never does. And then you're realise you're listening to "One Man Band (Live)" rather than "Live at the Troubadour" which will be the next album in WFOX's James Taylor playlist… ;) I couldn't help being vaguely disappointed not hearing her at that…
