Dear Boss

Dear Boss:

So, how’s the east coast?

Well..um…I realize you are travelling and everything. And there was the really HUGE passenger next to you on the airplane who took up his entire seat and a part of yours. There was all that traffic that you sat in on your way to the hotel and the GPS that knew 49 states but didn’t know that Virginia existed. It sounded like you had a tough day when we spoke on the phone last night.

Gosh, I hope you’re having a better day today.

Yeah. Well. Do you remember that part of the wedding vows about good times and not so good times and sticking together during all of them? It was right before or right after the sickness and health part? I’m not certain whether it was before or after but you get the general idea.

Okay, so I forgot to empty one of my pants pockets that I thought was empty but really wasn’t when I washed a load of clothes tonight, and when I opened the lid to the washer to move the clothes to the dryer I discovered that I washed the checkbook.

Gee whiz, that plastic sure does clean up nicely. Almost like new. It’s pretty amazing how well the plastic holds up considering that the register and blank checks all but disappeared. Woosh.  Gone.  Vanished. Except for those little balls of paper fuzz on the clothes. You’d think paper would hold up better in the wash. You’d think. You’d be wrong.

I sure was.

I really love you. I reeeeeeally, really love you. And I miss you. I’m looking forward to having you back at home in a couple of days. After you’ve had time to reflect upon all the good times we’ve had together and the beautiful children we have. And maybe throw back a few drinks.

Did I mention how much I love you?

Arby
