This will be quick but I thought you might want to laugh…

I am sitting in the Lafayette airport, having checked in 3 suitcases and having shipped 2 boxes of product to Atlanta for NCYC. My maiden voyage into tee shirts is on its way. (I have to work Mon and Tues in Ft Walton Beach FL—seems I like having hurricanes follow me, lightning rod that I am)

I’ve learned a few things already:

1–Lugging stuff is not what I was built for. (And, no, you are NOT invited to start a pool of what I was built for).

2–Kinda amusing (in a sick way) to watch my wife and in-laws “discuss” what should go in what bag or box…but it was masterfully done I think. There’s an old Cajun joke about the devil complaining to GOd that he had to take the Cajuns back because they were holding bingos to get hell air-conditioned. Ain’t a whole lot that they can’t do if they put their minds to it.

3–I look good in chocolate (the tee shirt might explain it)

Some of you I will see in Atlanta…come by booth 717. For those of you who arent, visualize a poodle (like my beloved Pepi) pulling a double wide.

And for all this belly aching, it’s still a better day than most people’s “day at the office”. I am smiling as I realize I get to “do” this. If you see me forgetting that, a GENTLE reminder might be nice.
