I saw a notice on the Morningside Facebook
page that a lady had a friend who was doing her PhD and was looking for someone
to transcribe oral interviews in the written versions. I phoned the lady and she gave me the number
of the PhD Student. The PhD student set
me up with an account to send me the audio recordings. She said she could pay $100 for an hour of
audio. She said she had 10 interviews to
do. She sent me an example audio file
and an example of what it looked like transcribed and she sent me a
confidentiality form. I tried to
transcribe the audio and I couldn’t type fast enough even when I slowed down
the recording. I was talking to my
brother in law about it and he suggested there might be some voice to text
software I could use. So I looked up
apps on my phone and tried one. I also
remembered that we had tried voice to text on Facebook messenger and I found
there was a voice to text feature on Gmail.
I tried to use the voice to text app through the speakers of my computer
but it didn’t work. So I tried listening
to the audio recording and repeating it into the phone app and that seemed to
work fairly well but I found the listening was slow because I often had to stop
and repeat parts and also after it was in text, I had to upload it to the cloud
and download it into Word and edit while listening to the audio again. The PhD student wanted me to transcribe all
the 'ums' and 'uhs' and pauses and giggles.
Barb thought that was stupid but the PhD student said she needed the
nuance. It would probably take me more than 3 hours to transcribe an hour of
recording which didn’t make the $100 an hour sound so good if it was $100 for 3
or more hours but I signed the confidentiality agreement and sent it to the PhD
student. She replied that she would send
me an audio file soon. When I told Sarah about it, Sarah said she
would pay me $100 not to do it. She
thought it was stupid. I waited and the
PhD student never sent me anything and I never got back to her. So it looks like it is not going to happen
and I am okay with that.

Reviews
Barb immediately tried out her new washer
and dryer. The new washers and dryers
come with all kinds of new safety features.
Barb likes to put clothes in the washer gradually as it fills with water
to see how much she can fit in but the new washer won’t let her open the lid
once it starts to fill. Then after the
clothes are washed, spin cycle goes for almost a half hour and wrinkles the
clothes terribly. She went to the
internet and read the reviews on the washer and dryer and everyone complained
about those things. Then they said that
the dryer turns itself off every 20 minutes or so when it thinks the lint
filter is full. So if you want to dry
the clothes, you constantly have to get up and clean the lint filter. Barb wished she had read the reviews before she
bought the new washer-dryer. I tried to
explain to her about safety regulations that are constantly getting tougher and they are trying to protect her but
she was not impressed.
Smudge
Barb found our washing machine was
leaking. I thought we should get it
fixed but Barb thought it was too old and so she bought a replacement. She talked to a salesman over the phone and
he promised it would be delivered in 5 to 10 days. Barb was getting upset because our laundry
was piling up. They delivery men finally
called and said they would be delivering the washer and dryer between 8 and 12
the next day. We had to get both a
washer and dryer even though only the washer was broken because they were
stacked to fit into our little cupboard in the kitchen. We found out that we had to disconnect the
washer and dryer and they said we had to take them apart. We were able to disconnect them but we
couldn’t get them apart. The next day
Barb was playing pickleball in the afternoon and was happy they were going to
deliver in the morning. She got up early
and waited and finally they hadn’t come by 11:30. So Barb started getting ready to leave for
pickleball. She had parked our cars in
the neighbour’s driveway to allow room for the delivery truck and she was happy
with herself because the neighbour’s had gone away for the winter and they
often use other people’s driveways when our neighbours are away. Anyway she was just about to leave when the
delivery men arrived. We found out that
we weren’t supposed to take the washer and dryer apart. Barb left and I supervised the men as they
installed the washer and the dryer. They
were two big strong guys but seemed very happy and they did a good job. Barb was worried that they would scratch the
floor but they didn’t. Then I moved the
kitchen table back in place. Barb saw a scratch on the floor and I thought
maybe I had done it when I moved the table back. But Barb was able to wipe it off. It was only a smudge.
Sore
We took advantage of one of the last
reasonably warm and dry days to clean up the garden for the winter. Barb did most of the work cutting down the
plants and I helped bag them and I took the bags to the yard waste container at
the Community Centre. Barb only had
three yard waste bags. So I had to take
the bags in the car and empty them in the container and then bring the bags
back. Usually you just throw the bags
out with the yard waste in them. I was
kind of embarrassed reusing the bags when there were other old guys dumping
stuff in the container when I was there.
They must have thought I was really cheap. Anyway, Barb was so sore the next day after
gardening that she could hardly play pickleball but we were really happy to
have it done because the weather was rainy for the next two weeks until it
snowed.
Cargo
I was doing the accounting and was looking
through Barb’s Costco bills and noticed a big expense of 7 times $21 labelled
Cargo. We thought it was a mistake. The only thing I could think of was some kind
of shipping fee. I even looked up cargo
on the internet and all that came up was airline cargo. Then we finally realized that that was when
Barb bought me 7 pairs of cargo shorts on sale that I wear all summer in Canada and all winter in Florida.
Accident
Julia and I are always making fun of this
friend of Julia’s who drove her car into a house in Barrhaven. Well today I was at the doctor’s office and
when I was leaving I was lazy about looking behind me when I was backing out of
my parking spot and ran into the garage attached to the doctor’s office. I was getting lazy because I was used to
driving our new car that has the rear view camera. I thought the accident was worse than it
was. When I got home, I was able to wash
off the paint from the wall of the garage using Barb’s super cleaner
sponge. There was just a small scratch
on the back bumper. But really how do
you drive into a house?
Turned Around
On the drive home from the football game, I
got turned around a little and took a strange and long way home. I sort of knew my way home but it was
definitely not the fast way home.
Fortunately, Barb and Sarah were happily talking and didn’t notice
anything strange and I didn’t say anything about being lost. Finally, I knew we were going in the right
direction but I didn’t really know where we were and then I saw a familiar
sight and found my way and got on the highway to get home.
Helmets
During the football game, there was a
situation that looked quite bad. Two
players, one from each team, were nose to nose and going at each other. I thought it was a fight. Then I realized that it wasn’t when an
equipment man came on the field. The
players took off their helmets and the face masks had somehow gotten stuck
together. When they took the helmets
off, even the equipment guy couldn’t get them apart. Then we saw him smash the helmets on the turf
until they came apart and the game could continue.
Half Time
At half time in the football game, we went
up to the food kiosks to buy a warm drink.
I told Barb and Sarah to go to the washroom because it would probably be
warm in there. So they went to the
washroom and spent the whole half time with their hands under the hand dryer
that blew out hot air. Barb didn’t want
to go back to our seats in the rain and wind.
So we watched the second half standing up at the food kiosk area which
was sheltered from the wind and the rain.
It wasn’t warm but there was lots of room there because most of the fans
had already gone home.
Badg
When we got to the stadium for the football
game, we were climbing the stairs to our seats and at the top of the stairs was
a tent with the words Hamilton Honey Badgers on it. I think the Honey Badgers must be the Hamilton
women’s football team. I thought it was
funny because I didn’t think anybody knew what a Honey Badger was. We had seen a video on YouTube about Honey
Badgers and how badass they were. So we
started calling Sarah, Sarah Badger because she is so badass.
Hiking
Sarah had asked us a couple of weeks ago if
were available on October 27th.
We said we were and wrote in our calendar a Sarah Surprise. On Saturday morning, I woke up but was still
in bed and Barb said you better get up, we are leaving in about an hour. Barb said that Sarah was taking us for a hike
but it was cold and raining. I said
couldn’t we do it next weekend. Barb
said no we couldn’t. So we went out and
picked up Sarah and we drove to Hamilton
for a surprise belated birthday present.
We went to the football game between the Ticats and the Ottawa Red
Blacks. Sarah got excellent seats from a
season ticket holder’s resale website.
We got to our seat and it was cold and raining and windy. A couple of old men sat down in front of us
with plastic raincoats on. And a group
of young women were sitting close to us and they sounded so keen and sounded
like great Ticat fans. The old men
lasted about 10 minutes and the women were gone by the end of the first
quarter. Barb was blocking the wind from
us and she was not happy. She said next
year Sarah should pick a game in July.
Extra Innings
I was listening to the World Series game on
the internet radio station and it was in the 8th inning and the
score was tied. I thought Barb would be
finished watching television for the evening and I went and put on the
game. The game went into extra
innings. Then in the top of the 13th
inning one team scored a run on a two out error. I thought the game would be soon over but in
the bottom of the 13th inning the home team scored a unearned run
with two out and tied that game. It went
on. I stayed up until 3:30 am until the
game ended in the 18th inning.
It was the longest game in MLB playoff history.
Podcast
I started reading the book that I got from
the liberry and Barb was making fun of me because I was reading a paper book. She only reads ebooks and I only listen to
audio books. I read the introduction and
the author said that the book was available as a Podcast from the CBC
website. So I went to the website and
downloaded the Podcast. Then I returned
the paper book to the liberry. I had to
load a Podcast app to my phone to listen to the book while I walked. Then when I tried to listen to the Podcast, I
found that it started at the last chapter and worked its way to the first
chapter. So I had to find the first
chapter and then after it played I had to stop the Podcast and find the next
chapter. It was a little annoying but I
found it easier than reading the paper book.
Liberry
I found out one of my favourite authors had
written a book a few years ago and I had never read it. So I looked it up at the library and put it
on hold in the afternoon. Then that
evening I got an email saying the book was ready to pick up. I love libaries.
Final Game
I went to the final game of the Kitchener
Fastball League playoffs tonight and it was cold. None of my normal friends were there to
watch. There were just a few parents and
girlfriends/wives there watching. The
game was pretty memorable. The Kings won
10-0 in six innings and the Kings pitcher struck out 16 of the 18 outs. There were two ground ball outs and one
single hit up the middle. One of the
Kings even hit a grand slam.
Rogers Truck
I saw a Rogers Truck over at the
neighbour’s house this morning and then in the afternoon my internet stopped
working. I tried disconnecting the wires
and restarting it a number of times but that didn’t work. We have internet phone too. So I couldn’t phone anyone to get help. I thought maybe there was something that
happened to my connection when the Rogers
guy worked on my neighbour’s internet.
When I went over to the neighbour’s house, he said that the guy was only
there to fix his internet phone and give him a boosted bandwidth. Then I went home and found out I could log on
to my neighbour’s wifi because my computer had saved her password from when we
had used it after we came back from Florida
in May. So I looked up our internet
service provider and it told me that they had an outage and were working to fix
it. They said they would post updates on
their Facebook page. The internet came
back later in the day.
18th October
I tried to log on my work computer to put
in my hours to get paid and I couldn’t get on my email or the website that they
use for the time sheets. I was getting
strange messages that I should use my new password. I tried again and again being very careful to
put my password in correctly. Then I
thought about the fact that I got hired on October 16th last year
and there was probably something that happened one year later. I phone my supervisor and he gave me the
number for the help desk and the guy who answered the phone looked up my
account and said that my account had expired.
It was a one year account and he needed an email from my supervisor to
reinstate the account. So I got the
account reinstated a couple of days later but it was too late to get my hours
in. So I wasn’t going to get paid this
coming payday. I could back date the
hours for the next payday and fortunately I didn’t lose anything on my account.
Early
I didn’t sleep well one night and was up in
the middle of the night. I was up early
enough to get a phone call from a friend I was planning to have lunch with in
Guelph. He phoned to postpone the lunch
because he said he had to handle a fire in the new furnace at his church. It was very lucky that I was up early to get
the phone call. We had lunch the next
day instead.
Talk Talk
I went over to my friend’s house in St Thomas to watch the
World Series game. He talked and talked
all the way through the game. I wanted
to hear the commentators tell interesting stories about the players. They say baseball games are 30 minutes of
action surrounded by three and a half hours of talk. Later I sent him an email about MLB expansion
and he wrote back that he had a lot on his mind when I visited and that he
thought he talked too much.
Construction
Barb thought it would be good if I picked
her up at the airport on a Saturday morning because there wouldn’t be any
traffic. She messaged me from the
airport and said she was just boarding the plane in Chicago.
I replied and she asked what was I doing up so early. I said that I thought I should leave for the
airport two hours before she was going to arrive. She said that was way too early. So I said I would leave 90 minutes before she
was supposed to arrive. My brother in
law had told me about a great free parking lot outside the airport set up to
wait to get texts from people who arrive at the airport and want to get picked
up. So I was planning to find that
parking lot. But we forgot that they
like to do construction on the 401 on weekends.
So the highway went down to just one lane just before I got to the
airport. Barb texted saying she was
waiting outside the airport. I texted
back saying I was stuck in traffic. She thought it was a nice day and was no
trouble waiting even though she had gotten no sleep the night before.
Utah
Barb had a big adventure going all the way
to Utah for the Huntsman Senior Games. A
friend from The Villages had talked her into it. She was staying with another couple of Villages
people. She didn’t win anything but she
had a great time especially, playing card games in the evenings with her
roommates. Her partner went back to The
Villages and told everyone that she never had so much fun playing in a
pickleball tournament as she had playing with Barb. Barb became better friends with the couple they
were staying with because she thought she didn’t like them much and they didn’t
like her much. They had a great time
playing cards and Barb and partner were always losing and claiming that the
fellow was making up the rules to all the games they played.
Softball Team
Barb was afraid she would get lost at the Toronto airport when she was leaving for Utah.
Barb is not the greatest at finding her way around airports but she is
not afraid to talk to people. So she met
some coaches and players on a softball team that was flying to Las Vegas on the same flight as her. Then she lost track of them and found some
people who were going to the Huntsman Senior Games like her.
Driving
I had finally got a new CPAP but the new
mask that came with the machine seemed to cut into my cheeks. So I went back and got a mask like my old
mask. But that mask was hurting my nose
and air was leaking into my eyes and I was waking up with swollen eyes. I was getting quite annoyed with the mask
and one night I woke up and got my old mask.
In the middle of the night, I found out that my new mask was bigger than
my old mask. So I went back to get fitted for another mask. I was driving to the appointment on the
highway and was almost at my exit and I heard someone honking at me. A car drew up beside me and I saw a round
headed person with big glasses waving at me.
It took me a second and then I realized it was Sarah coming home from a
work site. Sarah told me she had thought
the CDN sticker on the back of my car looked familiar and then she saw the
FASTPTCH license plate and knew it was me.
Suduko
Barb had a wicked flight back from Utah. She booked a non-stop flight from Toronto to Las
Vegas and was getting picked up by her pickleball
partner at the airport. She thought it
would be good to get a non-stop flight there because she wanted to be fresh for
the tournament. But on the flight home
she had an eight hour stopover in Chicago
and it was an overnight flight. She said
she didn’t care how long it took to get home and she thought that coming back
on Saturday morning would make it easy for me to pick her up at the
airport. She thought that she could read
her ebook while she was waiting at the airport.
But then she thought she could do Suduko while she waited too. She didn’t have a Suduko book in the house
but she had one in the car. The car was
by now at the shop. So at 10 pm at
night, I drove over to the shop to get her Suduko book. I got there and couldn’t find the car. I looked all around the parking lot and tried
to see inside the garage but I couldn’t see it anywhere. I came home without the book. So I decided to look up Suduko on the
computer and found a couple of websites that gave free Suduko puzzles. I printed out some medium level sheets and
showed them to Barb but she said they would be too easy. So I looked at another site and found some
advanced sheets. I printed out about a
dozen and Barb said that was more than enough because it takes a long time to
finish a puzzle. I wouldn’t know because
I have never done a Suduko puzzle.
Cookies
Barb won a harvest basket with vegetables
from the community gardens and gifts from the bake sale that didn’t sell. Barb said she would have the cookies and
since I was diabetic I could have the radishes.
Diamondbacks
Sarah found out that she might get a job
offer from the company where my friends from fastball work. My friends work at the Oshawa
office but they were excited to hear that Sarah was going to get a job offer
and they said that the people at the Guelph
office are fantastic.
Zinc
Laura is an expert on scars and she was
worried that Barb would go out in the sun when she played in the Pickleball
tournament in Utah and the sun would permanently tan the fresh skin on the
scar. Barb promised to keep putting zinc
over the scar while she was outside.
One Left
Barb went to the family doctor to get the
stitches removed from her cheek. A nurse
did it for her and she was a little unsure of herself. She said as she was removing them that every
doctor puts in stitches differently. Later Barb realized what she meant. She had left one of the stitches in by
mistake. When Barb was massaging her
scar like the doctor told her to, she felt a little stitch sticking out.
Bag People
We went to Shantz Farm which was a
Thanksgiving tradition for us. Barb came
with us for the first time because she had everything ready for the
Thanksgiving dinner. After we went on
the tractor ride, Sarah wanted to go through the corn maze. We knew it would be muddy because it had
rained so much in the past few days. So
Julia and Barb went and got plastic bags to put over their shoes. We avoided the mud as much as possible but
Julia and Barb were very smart and stylish too.
Calendar
Barb wrote on the calendar Stitches Out on
the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. And
Sarah was looking at the calendar and she thought Barb had written Bitches Out
on Tuesday because Julia and Sarah would be leaving after Thanksgiving.
Flour
Barb realized that Thanksgiving was coming
early this year and she wasn’t prepared to make the turkey dinner yet. She needed to go out and buy flour to make
the gravy with. She went to No Frills,
the local grocery store and couldn’t find the flour. A lady helped her and directed her to the 10
pound bag that was on sale for $5. Barb
had to laugh because she was only looking for a half pound container of flour.
Frankenmama
Barb was scheduled for plastic surgery on
November 28th which was very inconvenient for our trip to
Florida. She asked if she could be
called if there was a cancellation. The
next day I got a call asking if she would be interested in having her surgery
on October 2nd. I said she
definitely would and when she got home from pickleball she called them and
confirmed. She had her surgery and had
about 10 stitches on the scar on her cheek.
So she thought she would scare the kids because it was close to
Halloween by sending them pictures of her scar and stitches. Later she thought she should have tried to
get them to guess about where she had plastic surgery like she did with her
tattooed eyebrows.
Friendly Policeman
I went to Hickson on a foggy night to watch
a playoff game and I hadn’t been there this year. So I had only a foggy idea of where I was
going. Hickson in a small town that is
really only the intersection of two country roads. I got to Hickson and was looking for the
lights of the ball park. I drove all
four directions from the intersection and couldn’t see any lights. There was a police car with its lights flashing
on the side of the road. So I decided to
stop behind him and ask if he knew where the diamond was. He was writing a report in his notebook. So I waited at his window until he was
finished and rolled down his window and asked what he could do for me. I asked him if he knew where the diamond was
and he pulled out his phone and used Google Earth to give him views of up and
down the street. He thought it was
pretty cool. He said it was just up
ahead beside the fire hall. I drove up
and couldn’t see anything. So I turned
around and went back to the police car.
He then said to follow him and he drove up to the gate of the ball park
and flashed his light at the empty parking lot and I realized that the game had
been cancelled. So that was why there
were no lights on.
Barb's Story - Part 6
Barb got a call from the CPAP company. They said that they had been monitoring my
sleep and noticed that I still had some apnea and they decided to raise the
pressure from 10 to 12 from their location.
Barb was amazed that Big Brother was watching and what they could do
from their location. Barb said that my
nose was hurting from the mask and they said that they had noticed some leakage
from the mask. Barb was going to message
the girls about this story too but then see decided that she had to save some
stories for the blog.
Barb's Story - Part 5
Ok... More things happened to me... Keep
the blog going, Ivan.... I won, guess the weight of the pumpkin!!!! 
I guessed 810 pounds, and it was 812!!!!!!!!
I guessed 810 pounds, and it was 812!!!!!!!!
I was the CLOSEST by far!!! People guessed
150 or 1400!! I won a harvest basket!!!
Barb's Story - Part 4
The man at the garage told us to start that
car with the battery booster and then drive the car for 20 minutes to charge
the battery. He said the alternator
would have no problem charging the battery again. So Barb made sure I had my phone in case I
had any problems and I drove to the garage and dropped off the battery booster
and went for a drive. I drove for 40
minutes. Barb thought it was kind of
long time and was worried that I might have had problems and the car broke
down. She was very happy when I got home
safe but she was also mad that I had driven so far and worried her.
Barb's Story - Part 3
So off I go, down to the garage, to drop my
car off... No Dad...I start walking home...then I think... OH SHIT...that must
have killed the battery!!!! Then I see Dad walking towards me...and know that's
exactly what happened! I was the last one to use his car...as he was in Ottawa, with my car!!
Clearly, I don't know how to use a key anymore! So then we walked back to the
garage and told the guy what happened... He lent us a battery charger... We
walked home, boosted the battery...and now Dad has to take it for a drive to
fully charge it. OMG.... Imagine if we didn't try to start Dad's car, until I
was going to pickleball tomorrow morning... OMG, and it's my good pickleball
tomorrow.... So, it could have been a lot worse!! Here I thought we were down
to one car, where we were actually down to no cars!!!! There... I've just
written Dad's blog for him!!!
Barb's Story - Part 2
Anyhoo...I came home to dump my stuff out
of it, then wanted Dad to come with his car to bring me back home (it's only an
8 minute walk, but it's damn hot out there...) Then, we couldn't find the key
to Dad's car, I told him he should leave it on the bench... He said he normally
does...it is nowhere in sight...I said, maybe it's in the car...there is was,
in the car.... it was a half click on...I said... hahahaha, I hope that didn't
kill the battery...
Barb's Story - Part 1
I drove my new beauty to pickleball... And
heard a sound like an airplane, when I went slowly.... Didn't know WTF.... So I
drove it to our mechanic and he said it was the back brake on the passenger
side... It is metal on metal, and scraping the rotor.... He said I probably
shouldn't drive it... But they can't fix it until Monday... Which really sucks,
because I'm going to London and Toronto this week...
Ivan's Story
I drove Barb's car to Ottawa
for a meeting and when I got to Ottawa
I stopped to fill up with gas. I got out
of the car and heard a beeping noise but didn't know what it meant. So I filled up with gas and then got back in
the car and beeping noise was still going.
Then I tried to start the car and it didn't start. So I pushed the button and the car started
again. Then I realized that I had just
turned off the car. I had filled the gas with gas and I hadn't turned the car
off. I could have blown myself up.
Saturday, 10 November 2018
Out of Order
I
was doing my blog posts and had my little pieces of paper on my lap.
When I moved, they all fell on the floor. I picked them up but some
of them went under the table and I didn’t see them. So when I
wrote up all the posts, there were many out of order.
Watch
As I
was driving home from the tournament, I got a buzz on my watch and
noticed it was a text from Barb asking me where I was. I pulled off
the road and texted her that I was on my way home and would be there
in less than an hour. So she started to make dinner for us. I
thought it was neat to be able to get my texts on my watch.
Vote
After
the last game of the tournament, I was talking to the players from my
league and they said that the president of the league was trying to
kick them out of the league. They told me not to vote with the
president. I said I wasn’t invited to the league meeting. But
then the next day, I got an email from our team captain asking me if
I could go to the meeting for him because he had to work.
Fortunately, I said I couldn’t go because I had to travel to Ottawa
for a work meeting. I didn’t want to see them voted out of the
league.
Last Tournament
I
went to watch the last tournament of the season in Hamilton. I knew
there was a team from my league who was in the tournament. In fact,
they were the defending champs. When I got to the tournament, I was
surprised to see a whole bunch of the guys off my Diamondbacks team
playing and they were playing for a team called the Dbacks, short for
Diamondbacks. It was great to see them and they played well. They
lost in the championship game to the team from my league. One of my
best friends from the league hit a walk off single in the bottom of
the seventh inning to win the game.
Surgery
Barb
finally saw the plastic surgeon about the spot on her cheek. He said
it was basil cell cancer which doesn’t spread but she would have to
have it cut out of her cheek. He said his first available
appointment was November 28th which was bad because we
were planning to go to Florida on November 20th. Not only
that but she would have to come back to his office three weeks after
the surgery to make sure he had gotten it all. That would mean we
couldn’t go to Florida until well into December.
Creeping
One
of Barb’s friends was creeping on Barb’s Facebook page and
commented on a picture of Barb with the cheque that she got for
coming second in the money tournament over a month ago. That caused
the picture to come up again on a number of her friend’s time
lines. Her friends thought this was a new picture and that Barb had
won some more money. They started commenting again on the same
picture that they had commented on last month. Barb was too
embarrassed to tell them that they had already commented on the
picture last month.
Travels
Laura
kept us posted on her trip across the country. She ran into a
terrible thunder and lightning storm in Western Ontario. She
complained about the lack of radio stations along the route. She
stopped a number of times and napped in the back seat of the car that
was loaded on the trailer. She got to Calgary during a snow storm.
But she made it all the way to Vancouver and her and a friend
unpacked the truck into her new apartment. My sister said she
couldn’t follow Laura’s posts because she was too scared for her.
Plug
I
went to charge my phone and we have some cords plugged into the walls
all the time. So I usually just need to plug my phone into one of
these cords. I plugged my phone in and waited a few hours. I went
back a few times to the phone and noticed it wasn’t charged.
Finally, I noticed that the plug was not in the wall.
Cash
I
was heading out to the ball park for one of the last tournaments of
the year and just as I was leaving Barb asked me if I had any cash.
I had none because I had given all my cash to Laura for her cross
country trip because she had only US dollars and didn’t have enough
Canadian money. Barb gave me some cash which turned out to be very
fortunate because it cost $10 to get into the tournament. Usually,
getting into these types of tournaments is free.
