Worry Wart
Hi bro,
I enjoyed your story and I can truly relate to being a "worry wart". Thank you for all your time, effort, and talent you put into the TGIF each and every week.
Have a good rest of the weekend!

Japanese Phones
So those were Japanese cell phones. Do they work? Everyone there grabbed for it. How do you work it?

Raoul!
Raoul!
I have learned that an audience is often not aware of a performer's mistakes. I've been doing vocal recitals with my voice teacher for a couple if years now and once: I wore my blue shoes instead of black, my hairpin was in the wrong place, my hairpin fell out without my noticing, I've never sung the correct lyrics all the way through, I forgot to put on lipstick, I sang the intro in a key only known to aliens, I invited my friends to come at 3:30 when the recital started at 3:00.
Now you know too!
I do look forward to TGIF. But I don't expect it to be perfect. And as long as you have family and friends, you will have things to write about. Because they bring things out of you that are worth writing about.
So thank you!

Writer's Block
Thanks Raoul you do a great job with writers block, I do an invocation every week for the Quarterbacks Club of Pasadena. They enjoy it even though many of them do not subscribe to my belief and give me a standing ovation. Of course I do it right dater the pledge and that guarantees one.

Got it!
Yeehay! I got the Mrs. Doubtfire answer right away, then went on thru the math process and got the correct # too. (9) Gives me the good feeling of "all's well with my world. I also liked the Robin Williams sketch and agree. Yup. Jesus was a Jew.

Wrong shoe
Hi Raoul,
I read your postings and keep them for a while. Every once in a while, I'll go back and re-read them. I do enjoy them.
Some years ago, I was on reserve duty. On the first day of my tour, I was walking from the hotel
to the office. It was a nice day and I was enjoying the walk. As I walked, I did an inventory of my uniform in my mind. Hat, tie, etc. As I only wore the uniform on active duty during my yearly training, if felt a little strange, but my feet felt good. Looking down, I noticed that I had my brown loafers on. Opps. A quick about face back to the hotel for the black uniform shoes.
I pray that you and you family are well. As I've said before, if you're ever in coastal Georgia, we do have a bed for you ("you' all").
Bill
