Good morning GH. To paraphrase the Beatles, "I've been away so long I hardly knew the place, gee it's good to be back home." Oh, I should toss in another paraphrase from that group, "You say it's your birthday, it's my birthday too yeah." Yes, that's right, it is my birthday today, and I am one day closer to to being 62, since today I am 61. Funny, I don't feel older, just better. The desktop temperature is a very comfortable 59 degrees, and the forecast from Sugar the Weather Dog is for no precipitation today. In honor of my birthday, I am wearing the Road America shirt that Adam and Steph brought back from their visit to the track earlier this summer. It is my first official wearing, and it looks great! Finally had the roof job finished on Tuesday, after two long weeks. I received a call from the sales rep last evening, to see how things had gone, and I told him just how I felt about the crew arriving late on the day that they had promised to be there between one and three, about the "boss" calling late on a Sunday to tell me that they would in fact be here, this three days later than he had promised to call, etc. I could go on, but when the rep said he would have the boss call me last evening, I flat out told him no, I have other plans. Of course, it would have been nice to hear from the boss the day the guys were late and then a call to see if I was satisfied would have been nice, but that's just one man's opinion. To say the least, I am not pleased with their professionalism. Sure the roof looks great, but it shouldn't take two weeks to get it that way. The neighbors were way over the top on their tolerance, and for that I must say thanks. So, I anticipate a call today, but if the rep thinks that his protestations that this was the only job that has ever gone south are not highly suspect, he has another think coming. So, before I go off to the orthopedist and the lab for additional tests, I must comment on the card that Mary left for me this AM. I liked it! The sentiments are great, and the truth is, that on Saturday, we will have been married for thirty-nine years. It really can't get much better than this! So, all that being said, time to get ready for another day. No Tea time this AM, but when I return from the doctor, then I can begin my celebration by entering more tables, right after I water the palatial estate grounds. C-ya!
