When it rains…..
Posted By Kathleen David on June 25, 2006
I swear if I didn’t have bad luck right now I would have no luck at all. A bunch of stuff keeps almost going right and then takes that lovely left turn to wrong. And yesterday just added to the fun.
We had a great time at the graduation party and had fun talking to our friends and making some new ones. That was the nice part of the day.
The rain and thunderstorms were not as nice and then I lost my house keys which I keep separate from my car keys. This included my one working copy of my studio key. We have narrowed down to where I lost them but it isn’t looking good for their recovery so any good thoughts or prayers or energy you want to send would be greatly appreciated.
Yes, I can get replacements for the keys I need to use but there was a lot of history to that key ring. I kept a couple of keys on there that may not fit any locks anymore but held great personal meaning to me. I had that key ring since I was either 10 or 12. I got it at a shop that no longer exists in Emory Village whose owner talked to kids rather than chasing them away. The shop closed after a fire took out 1/2 the shopping center and a lot of businesses that were affected by the water damage had to shut their doors.
So I feeling a little down today and the weather is not exactly helping. We are looking at rain for the next.day or so and then scattered thunderstorms for the next week. Thunderstorms make it difficult for Peter to work since it is not a good idea to have your computer on during a storm.
I am grateful that I do have my car keys which also has the key to my bowling locker.
Ooch. That’s definitely no fun.
But a few months ago my mother-in-law misplaced her car keys while up here visiting us, which meant she had no way to get home to D.C. She found them a few hours later, so precedent suggests you’ll be in luck. (You also have the added benefit of being far less loopy than she is. 🙂
I hope they turn up soon! Best of luck!

You just didn’t want her staying with you any longer than she had to, did you, Tim? Go on, you can tell us. You’re among friends. 8^)
( I don’t know why I post anymore. Kath never reads this stuff.)
E-
Yes I do. I read them as I get them. I just don’t comment that much on them unless I have something to say.
On the Bowling issue we are going to agree to disagree. My question to you is should schools scrap ALL sports including football and basketball?

Kath,
I wouldn’t have a problem with it if they did. Schools are for kids to learn and be educated. And I’m not against extracurricular activities as long as the money is not taken away from academics.
I see it this way, If the schools scrap softball, if my kid wanted to be on a softball team, I could start one and coach it. Same with football, basketball, etcetera. And it’s not like you don’t have plenty of choices, there’s little league, city league and community leagues.
I should add that when I was growing up the schools weren’t involved with any of those sports. So why are they SO essential now?
