I just returned from retrieving my company truck. I rode Danny's bicycle to do so. The route I took probably was 5miles in length. I think I chose the hottest part of the day. On my ride I packed a fanny pack to take with me. In it I had my company ID, $10.00, my company keys and my cell phone. It was the latter that caught my attention about half-way into the trip. It rang 1 and 1/2 times then stopped. So I stopped and checked it's caller id. It was an Austin telephone number. So I called it and Elizabeth answered. She was needing Gerry Fergerson's cell phone number. Katheen had borrowed a suit case from Margaret and Gerry and was calling from the cruise ship to get it's combination. Somehow it had gotten locked. I do not think that Kathleen ever visits this site. And I am pretty certain she would not spend the extra bucks on board ship to do so. However, in case she does, the information she needs is someone's wedding date. I wonder whose!...Back in the saddle again, i kept peddling towards my office. Everytime I crossed an intersection I found myself thanking the Americans with Disabilities Act. I really found the ride much smoother because of the ramped sidewalks...Then in the car on the way home I was listening to my favorite AM radio station KAAM. When I tuned in, someone was trying to sing Elvis Presley's "Are You Lonesome Tonight". The singer was tickled and could not stop laughing. It made me laugh. As it turns out it was the king himself.
