Today has been a very busy day. We are getting into conference mode and finalizing all the necessary paperwork, graphics and presentations.
Walter had a harrowing experience this evening - he went to the post office to pick up a package that the mailman didn't leave and ended up having car trouble. Turned out that the ignition got stuck in the on position and the car wouldn't not shut off. Poor thing was stuck in the car for quite awhile without assistance. I was in a meeting for several hours and he couldn't reach me.
Thank goodness that Tim was available to head over and help him out. They got the car turned off and Walter settled down. I finally got to returning my phone calls and found out the scoop.
Hopefully, "Tomorrow will be a better day."

Tickle Me Elmo
There is a factory in Northern Minnesota which makes the Tickle Me Elmo Toys.
The toy laughs when you tickle it under the arms.
Well, Lena is hired at The Tickle Me Elmo factory and she reports for her first day promptly at 8:00 AM.
The next day at 8:45 AM there is a knock at the Personnel Manager's door.
The Foreman throws open the door and begins to rant about the new employee.
He complains that she is incredibly slow and the whole line is backing up, putting the entire production line behind schedule.
The Personnel Manager decides he should see this for himself, so the 2 men march down to the factory floor.
When they get there the line is so backed up that there are Tickle Me Elmo's all over the factory floor and they're really beginning to pile up.
At the end of the line stood Lena surrounded by mountains of Tickle Me Elmo's.
She had a roll of plush red fabric and a huge bag of small marbles.
The 2 men watched in amazement as she cut a little piece of fabric, wrapped it around two marbles and began to carefully sew the little package between Elmo's legs.
The Personnel Manager burst into laughter.
After several minutes of hysterics he pulled himself together and approached Lena.
"I'm sorry," he said to her, barely able to keep a straight face, "but I think you misunderstood the instructions I gave you yesterday..."
"Your job is to give Elmo two test tickles."
