Thinking The Sounds

How long I have known my wife:

From and including: Tuesday, July 2, 1985
To, but not including : Wednesday, July 2, 2008

It is 8401 days from the start date to the end date, but not including the end date

Or 23 years excluding the end date

Alternative time units
8401 days can be converted to one of these units:

• 725,846,400 seconds
• 12,097,440 minutes
• 201,624 hours
• 1200 weeks (rounded down)

Or the shorter answer:

Not long enough.

I’m truly lucky.  We both are….

I was asked today by somebody whether I lost a bet and I had to say that “No, I won one.” That brought an even more quizzical look.

The school where I work held their annual fund raising auction a few weeks ago. I was nominated for Cream of the Crop (sort of a king of the auction). I told the folks that if I won (by collecting the most donations) I’d shave my head. Needless to say, I won by a landslide. (Most people didn’t realize that I’ll do pretty much anything to my hair).

Then the auctioneer got the smart idea to auction off the rights to actually do the deed. Some 8th grade parents decided they really wanted to see their kid do it, so they won.

Here I am under the sheers. The kids had a blast and I ended up raising a lot of money for the school.

But now I’m bald and the temp here in Kenosha has dipped into the 30′s.

It’s still worth it.

During my recent jaunt to Disneyworld I fell in love with Mary Blair’s It’s A Small World Designs.

Seriously.  This is the view out of our front door on the first day of spring, 2008.
