Thirty-six years ago today I was living in a small one bedroom furnished apartment in Cabot, Arkansas, with the woman I was going to marry, which I did as tomorrow is our 36th anniversary. Today I am in the Holiday Inn Express in Ontario, California, and the other half is home in Lakewood, Washington. Yes, she is a bit bummed with the whole concept of me being here and her being there. Such is life.

Today I increased my score on a very critical test at my new company. Now I will be able to lease a truck and make many more dollars, which should make the other half a little happier. Plus, by leasing a truck, little Bonita will be able to come with the other half when I take her out with me next summer.

So, I happy and sad at the same time making this a mediocre day. Such is life.
