My daughter is gathering toys and I have just a minute. I thought since it is Thanksgiving, I’d write about one of the reasons I’m thankful.
Yesterday, I was sitting at my desk hard at work. My six year-old daughter walked by and asked what was planned for tomorrow. I told her that she and her mother would watch the parade while I worked on my computers. (It’s a rare off day where I would have time for maintenance.)
She smiled and went off to play.
A few minutes later she gave me a sheet of paper. She had drawn a picture with two images. On the left, labeled “today,” she was typing on a computer. On the right, labeled “tomorrow,” she and I were standing next to one of her toys.
She had written: “From: Gigi To: Dada, Tomorrow play with me.”
She explained it was a note to get me out of work. Like the ones I give her when she has to leave school.
So, today, I’m off work. I’ve got a note.
Bio: The short line? Father, husband, writer. My online presence is primarily through as the editor, writer, and occasional photographer for the news sites, Lakeland Local, a sampling of the news, concerns, and events for Lakeland, Florida, and Metro i4 News, which covers the Interstate 4 corridor in Central Florida. Both sites feature the work of myself and other contributors. As a hobby, I manage a forum and some web sites that feature a pulp fiction series written by Lester Dent -- Doc Savage Organized, Doc Savage Info, and Flearun.
