This AM, left my garage for a 3 tuning job at a church setting.,<br>
approximately 40 minutes away. Tried to remember to have cash, tools,<br>
address notes, cell phone, lunch. Pulled away from garage sure I've <br>
forgotten something. Stopped the car, opened the trunk to make sure<br>
tool kit was there. Knew I had to stop for gas, so made certain cash
was<br>
available. Drove about 5 minutes, looked on the seat for my cell
phone, <br>
and realized I didn't have my glasses. They would be on the seat with my<br>
phone, . . but not today. Checked pockets, etc. U turn , and back to
the house. <br>
There on the kitchen table they were. My wife thinks my memory isn't
what it <br>
used to be, but I think that I seem to need to remember so many more
things now. <br>
No way would I take lunch, didn't need glasses, there weren't any cell
phones,<br>
so all I had to remember was to make sure I had my tool kit. Is it
any wonder ???? <br>
<br>
Has anyone ever left for a job, and forgot to shave ???<br>
