8/8/06---Good Lord Almighty...we appear to be...up to date!

So last night Kim's father and brother very graciously took us out to dinner for a belated birthday dinner for Kim.  We went to the Original Steahouse & SportsTheatre restaurant, which is right down the street.
I had a lovely NY strip...and baked potato...and we returned home.

This morning, at work, I'm getting ready to go to court when I get a phone call.

My wife, and I love her, advises me that she had left her purse at the restaurant.  Yesterday.  And just realized it.  Needless to say, she was in full-on panic mode.
That, and the fact that we had a crew coming over within a few minutes to install our bedroom carpets...and she was as close to freaking out as.....well, let's just say that not much makes my wife TRULY freak out.

Damn the luck, it forced me....I mean to tell you, it FORCED me to leave work early.
And I think you all know how much I hate to do that.  I swung by the restaurant, which hadn't opened yet....and banged on the outside window until luckily someone came to the door.  I explained the situation and the manager told me that they had the purse in the back office.  He quickly got the purse and I thanked him profusely for ending my wife's short psychological nightmare.  I brought the purse to my wife at home, who greeted me like I was Patton rolling into Paris, circa 1944.

It really did pain me to leave work early though.

Later,
Jeff
