Day 293

A PIZZA HUT CELEBRATION was scheduled for my birthday in August, resulted in them doing their H.B. chant for me and giving me this bouquet of flowers.  I don’t think this is normal, but I think they remembered that I was a good friend of one of their workers who had just quit.  I had played football with him, and usually he gave me and Alice a free cup of coffee or ice cream when we came with friends.

Take time today to have some coffee with a friend.  Time is fleeting and precious.  Don’t put it off, tomorrow may be too late.

Coffee, birthday and flowers!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my 10-yr old grandson, Jensen.  Until he was nine months old, I knew I was a grandpa, but never got to hold him, since he was born in Bangladesh.  In 2000 we met Austin’s and Dustin in Bangkok, spent a week in Chiang and then made our first visit to Bangladesh where Austin’s and Dustin were living.
