Bits of Wisdom . . . .
1. When parking your car, if you run up over the curb, you can get closer to it.
2. You can get a great lunch at Costco.
3. Don't pack up the bats before the game is over.
4. Don't get your bowels in an updrawer.

What LDub likes to do . . . .
1. Read the newspaper out loud to everyone and at times read it with his eyes closed.
2. Announce out loud what I'm going to do.

6. And their favorite . . Dad makes everything FUN!
Now, I also have the same bits of wisdom as others like: Do your best, Try your hardest, Never give up, Respect other people's property, and Always tell the truth, but the ones that they remember the most are the ones listed above. But, then again, how many bits and unusual items do your kids, wife and family remember about you? It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
*AMENDMENT TO STORY TITLED "BUCKET LIST" ........
I had a comment from Annette Renee White from California about my "Bucket List" story. Seems she has 212 items on her Bucket List. She commends me for only having 6 on mine. Well, after rethinking it, I have added one more item to the list.
7. Have my photo on a jar of Smuckers Jam when I turn 100 and be able to recognize it and realize that it is there. I'm sure that Willard Scott will not be announcing my name, but I always admired those people who have reached the century mark and had the chance to be memorialized on a jar of jelly.
