Dear Friend - snow day in May

How cool it that?  May 19 to 20th - 12 inches of snow in most of the areas around me and it was 88 degrees the day before.  I love this state.  Almost a best day ever category.  I will say after working the nightshift it was difficult to drive home because of all the tree limbs down from the snow being so heavy, not to mention all the water from the snow melt. I love the snow and we were about to burn up and with so many people being careless with those stupid personal burners at home it made this a very dangerous place to be.

In fact, one guy dumped the ash from one along his back fence and caused a horrible fire inside the eastern part of the city.  I bet he'll be surprised when he gets the bill for all the emergency workers and equipment used to stop the fire. Because unless you die, you get charged for your stupidity.  Something I didn't know until I started working for The Company.

Cheers and stay warm,

L

this was Saturday and that is Manny, my cat. He loves the snow.

Dear Friend - best day ever

Hello, it's been awhile...

 I was recently reflecting on "the best day ever" in my life and then what would it be for others. 

What would it be for you? Would it be the day you got married? divorced? 
or the birth of a child? 
 the day you learned to play an instrument? 
 riding a horse?
 purchasing your first home? 
 starting a business? 
 starting a new job? dream job if you're lucky. 
 listening to music? 
creating music? 
 making cool stuff? whether it be artwork, metal work, glass work, textiles? 

 a concert? 
I went to Bruce Springstein's Born in the USA tour and attended the stop in Denver (1980's). My brother waited overnight in line to purchase tickets. It was realy cold and they took their sleeping bags, lawn chairs and alcohol and made a party of it. Is that even available anymore, waiting overnight in line for tickets (with alcohol?) now that everything is done online?

 I work with the homeless at times and I wonder what would their best day ever be like? a warm coffee? a safe place to sleep? 

 What would your best day ever be like? Is it epic or is it simple? 

 Cheers and speak soon, L

PS sadly I couldn't come up with a recent one for myself.
