Beautiful and I actually had a good day yesterday. I'm marking this one on my calendar. She came over to hang out and we had a good time. We even managed to go out for dinner without incident. The heaven's have parted. (Which would be cool if I were religious at all.)

Today I had a funny conversation with one of the security guards in our building. It wasn't much of a conversation as it was a battle of one liners.

Me: How you doing sir? (He's an older guy)
Guard: Everyday you wake up is a good day!
Me: You can't beat that with a baseball bat.
Guard: Nope, God willing.
Me: You know what they say, two birds in the hand beats one in the bush.
Guard: If I had a nickel for every time I thought that....
Me: I bet you said that more times than you can shake a stick at.
Guard: I know but some days I feel like I've jumped out of the frying pan and into the fryer.
Me: Hang in there. When life gives you lemons, just make lemonade.
Guard: You can bet your bottom dollar I will.
Me: See you later!
Guard: Not if I see you first!

....I laughed and walked onto the elevator. This is what my life has become. A battle of wits, in which I clearly am unarmed and marking good days with Beautiful on my calendar. I want a new drug.
