Wednesday… Just me? Appointments mess up a day!

 Wednesday… Just me? Appointments mess up a day!

Picture if the day.

Speaking of all the snow lately up there! This is our parking lot on Arlington BLVD near D.C. many years ago.  We returned from NC and could not get in. Hundreds of cars were parked as we did on Arlington BLVD, we all got tickets, and we all threw them away!

Now for today’s Stuff:

WE all have APPOINTMENTS! Doctors, taxes, dentist, parties, etc. But over the years I have noticed if an appointment is after 9AM, it ruins an entire day. I will not start a task, or go anywhere, I seem to just wait/plan for the appointment. I have noticed that lately, more than before.

I do not know if it is the military training or what, but I must be at any appointment at least 15 minutes before the scheduled time.

Platoon 17, 1956 This is Mine and Dallas's Parris Island grad Platoon. Great memories???  LOL Dallas 4 from left and me 8 from the left first row (I think for what ever it means we all look alike.  LOL

I remember in the USMC, when we were first allowed to leave the base on ‘liberty’; Sgt Bell said when heading back to the base: You had better fit in time to change a flat tire, because I do not buy having a blowout or flat as a reason to miss muster.

After about 70 years, I still remind Dallas of the times I just knew he would not make it back from Pennsylvania, on time. He went to PA to see that pretty Marian, every weekend when he did not have the duty.

Back then he didn’t have a car and he hitch hiked from NC to PA every time. The dude was NEVER late for muster. I knew Sgt Bell (Dal called him Ding Dong) would not buy “I couldn’t get a ride!” if Dallas was late.

But, back to appointments, we all have them, do they tend to mess up your whole day?
