Well I got a ticket. On the way to a funeral, some very bad circumstances with the death of a good friends brother.

Slipped on the ice the next day, and put some salt out, wife walks off the salt, and breaks her leg. Spend a day in the ER, all is well, take another day off a construction project to meet with an architect and a consultant. The meeting with the architect is a wash, drive another hour to the consultant, and it's a no show.

Go home to a power failure the next day. Then it's Friday. not that I am superstitious, but it was also the thirteenth. Write out the payroll checks. 1,313.00. HMM.

I was really rattled at the funeral, as it was a shotgun suicide, by a guy who had lost his job and was being evicted. Ironically, there were two job offers on his message machine.

The man's name was Danny Block. I would really appreciate it if you could say a prayer that his soul might find peace. He was a good guy, but he suffered from Bipolar disorder. If you could say a prayer for his brother Dean also, I would really appreciate it. He is my wife's doctor, and a really good man who is having a hard time coming to grips with this.

Obviously a lot of emotions to sort out there, but I have a strong belief in a higher power, and I know that our prayers are heard. I have been concentrating on my own problems as a distraction. It is time to focus on being there for others.
