Thirty years ago this month, something momentous happened in my life. I had a stroke of luck which would help define me up until this day.
I got strep throat. More specifically, I got sent home from school with strep throat the same day that cable television was installed in our house.
Talk about good luck.
One of my biggest problems is that I don’t always learn from my mistakes. Generally this doesn’t affect anyone else, but I inconvenienced the rest of my family on Labor Day when we decided to go out for lunch.
Holiday weekend really provide ample opportunity to do whatever you please. We had already put together a nice weekend of fun, but had done a bunch of it separately.
I thought a nice lunch together would give the three of us a chance to wind down the weekend together. We didn’t see each other much on Sunday so we could spend the time catching up on what happened the day before.
