I meet on Zoom with a friend in Ottawa every Tuesday at 1:30 pm, and I set up the meeting every Sunday afternoon. Today when I set up the session, I set it up for 1:30 am by accident.
For many years, I kept a family diary devoted to good news and funny stories about my family while the girls were growing up. I stopped a few years ago. I am thinking of starting it up again because I have noticed that a lot of good and funny things are happening to my wife and I.

Stan
Upside Down
Today I thought Barb looked funny and noticed she was wearing her reading glasses upside down.
Insert
Barb noticed her foot was hurting a lot lately. Her feet never hurt because she wears inserts in her shoes. Today, when she went to check the insert in her shoe, she realized there was no insert.
Toaster
I have a bagel with cream cheese every morning for breakfast. This morning the toaster wouldn't stay down. I tried over and over again. I thought, oh no, we would need a new toaster. Then I noticed it wasn't plugged in. I didn't know it wouldn't stay down if it's not plugged in—you learn something new every day.
Garbage Day
In New Hamburg, our garbage is only picked up every two weeks, and our recycling is picked up every week. I took the trash out, but I told barb I thought it wasn't garbage week. She said no, she keeps track of it on her calendar. The next day the garbage wasn't picked up, but there was a nice note on the trash bag in the morning. Barb had forgotten to flip the calendar to the new week.
Kumar
Tonight I got a message that Kumar in Japan was waiting for me at 11 pm Sunday. We were supposed to meet on Monday night and Tuesday morning in Japan, but he thought we were meeting on Sunday night, which was Monday morning in Japan.
London, Ontario
Barb wonders why we have a GPS in the car, but we never use it. One day she got lost coming home from Cambridge, about a half-hour's drive away, and ended up on the highway heading to London, Ontario, an hour away.
