This week the four of us will be together. Totally excited about the event, I contacted a man who supposedly put together a large part of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee to see about obtaining a flotilla and a marching band. After he considered my request and our budget, he stated the best he could do was a john-boat and a couple of guys playing kazoos. Totally offended, I made some some rather verbose statements.
At this point, he informed me in no uncertain words that the Bishop of Wilson was not the same as the Archbishop of Canterbury, that a professor at Wilson Tech was not the same as Harvard or Yale, there was only one Queen, but that anyone with two dollars and ninety-five cents and an Internet connection can be a Baptist preacher, and that as far as my giveaway of over seven hundred books, Lowe's gives that many books away every day telling people how to unclog their toilet.
I was offended, but upon reflection, realized my plans were not to come to fruition. And, the more I thought about it, no matter how lively and pithy my books may be, if I had a clogged toilet, I would definitely be more interested in one of the books from Lowe's than any I had written.
Oh well, we'll be together this week, we'll have fun, and beside... what's a john-boat?
Have a great day,
Dan
