Doh! Forgot something

I forgot to kidnap my wife and take her with me... But I also forgot to take the cable to transfer the pictures from my digital camera to my computer, so I can't submit my receipts for my expense report like I planned. I can at least take the pictures so they are ready to send, oh well, I blame Hillary because her laptop had a card reader built in.

Sometimes life is just a game of hurry-up-and-wait. I hurry, hurry to the airport to be on time or early, then wait at the gate because my flight is delayed at the last minute. I hurry exercise and get to work, then wait in boring meetings for people to stop flapping their lips without saying anything new. I rush to get back from lunch but have to wait around for two hours because of unforeseen events.
I hurried all morning last Saturday to get the house ready for Christina to come and for me to be gone again, but I eventually gave up and spent some down time with Rebecca once the kids were asleep.

On a side note, I am proud that I have not turned on the TV in my hotel room yet.

I am glad you slowed down and spent time with Rebecca, when you weigh that against a clean house, it seems foolish to do anything else!

I get the hurry-up and wait thing. I hate being late, but then no one else does, so I am always waiting for someone else.

Good work on the no TV!

Good job on the no TV. Thanks for working on the house, and guess what . . . I came to HELP, not to be pampered.

Can't wait to see you this weekend. You and Hal can switch off with us holding the sick kids.
