Ketchuping



MONDAY, FEBRUARY 20TH......

I hate being behind a day in my blog.  Because each day of my life makes sense and gives me lessons.....


So Monday's lesson was......Trust.



I had my monthly lunch with My Wife and Cathy Ribgy.  Our restaurant of choice was closed so we ended up a a lovely place that we Trust.


We had my All Time Favorite Waiter.  (Seriously - I love this guy.  He wouldn't even give me the Special because he said it was yucky......I Trust this guy.)




Anyway.....I broke down a bit.



"Look, Ladies......I know that we go dutch but my ATM card is trapped in a parking garage thingie.....I just got a crappy email from BFK, and another crappy email from other people.....and I don't feel like talking and I certainly feel like crying so can you please cover my lunch and let me .....you know.....talk it out????"



This was actually uttered from me in one singular breath.


Of course they said yes and I felt sooooo much better knowing that I can Trust that they are ready for me to Vent.


Oddly I ordered a Spinach Salad.  Not that I don't like a Spinach Salad......but I oddly ordered it.  Cuz normally I am all about the cheese and fries......



And I vented.  And vented....and vented.




I vented so much that my soup got cold 
(and I LOOOOOVE soup)


I vented and vented and vented.....

And My Wife and Cathy Rigby hung in there.  One (or both) of them actually said ...."Hey - this is cool. YOU actually have a problem."  


They offered solid advice, personal experience, and they teased me for being a slow eater.  

I apologized up and down for being so needy.

They made me laugh.


So anyway, have you ever had the craving for ketchup?  My friend Reinhart used to say that French Fries were just an excuse to eat ketchup.  (Or Catsup as some people spell it....those people are weird...I don't Trust them.) 


I certainly needed to catch up with these ladies.


I Trust them.

  1. Oh, honey. I wish I could have been there for you. Ketchup has natural mellowing agents. Just ask Garrison Keillor. Of course you need it!

  2. People say it's tacky to eat ketchup on hot dogs. It's all I want. And on my hamburgers.
    It is my privilege to listen. I love to give my bossy opinion. Just ask me.
