    Ever climb into the wrong car by mistake?

    My mom’s first car was a VW Bug in that beige color and she always tells the story of how she hopped in the car after coming out of a local department store only to find a stranger sitting in the passenger seat of not her car. Her car was apparently 2 spots away. She apologized profusely.

    My Dog Passed Away Yesterday

    Very sorry for your loss. I don’t know if you are familiar with this but Jimmy Stewart recited a pretty amazing poem on the Carson show about his dog Bo. The poem does an excellent job of describing the bond a person can develop with a pet. Jimmy Stewart
