Old Wooden Boat - The Monday Morning Memo

“I’ve looked for my sunglasses when they were on my head. Not too long ago, I was running late for work. I was in a rush out the door and we’ve got this drawer in our kitchen where I keep my wedding ring, my watch, my keys, and my wallet. And I was grabbing everything at kind of a furious pace, and I tapped my pocket; I had my phone there. I had my wallet there. But my keys weren’t there. I looked on the counter. The keys weren’t on the counter. I looked in the drawer. The keys weren’t in the drawer. So I was about to yell my wife’s name out, ‘Valerie!’ to ask her where the keys were, and when I opened my mouth to yell “Valerie!” the keys fell out of my mouth onto the floor, because in my hurry, I had taken the keys and put them between my teeth. About 10 years ago, my wife had had a tough week at work. She was driving home and I called her and I needed her to give me the contact information for a friend of ours. So I called and said, ‘Val, I need you to share this contact information with this person.” And she’s driving home, and she says, ‘Oh John, I can’t find my phone anywhere. I think I may have left it at work.’ I said, ‘Valerie, you’re talking to me on the phone right now.’ She said, ‘It’s been a long day.’ Raise your hand it you’ve ever done anything like that. Please make me feel better about myself.”
