There was a hit song by The Big Bopper years ago called “Chantilly Lace”. The song began with the Bopper receiving a phone call and telling his date what he liked; “Chantilly lace and a pretty face and a pony tail hanging down… oh baby you know what I like”. That is your Mom. Chantilly Lace, a pretty face and hair cutely styled.
Mom is back to her sassy ways. She is surfing websites of different dating services looking for a younger man. I guess I look to old for her these days.
My football TV marathon over the weekend was exciting. The UW Badgers eeked out a one point victory over Iowa to keep the season “alive”. The Packers survived Favres valiant attempt to pull out a Viking victory. I think you have seen the last of Favre at Lambeau. So I guided the Packers to a 4 point victory. Rumor has it that Grasshopper No.4 and Dominic won their last game on “championship Saturday”. Congrats! I guess I couldn’t have written a better football script for the weekend.
The forecast for the next couple of days is ugly. High winds, rains, potential power outages. The good news is that it isn’t snow. Tie down the dog.
Just a note on my M&I bank saga. I had received notice that my checking account would be charged $25 per month if I didn’t carry a $5,000 daily balance. I called the bank and was told that because I did various banking services through them, I was consided a preferred private customer. They valued my business. My checking account would continue to be free. Now I know what it feels like to be a “big cheese”.
Stay dry.
Love,
Dad
