The sting!

October 14th, 2008 at 01:53 pm

Last night, my husband stopped to do a free job for an old customer. What he thought would take a few minutes wound up taking an hour and a half. No, he is not going to charge for it. He never does. That is why he has so many friends.
As a result, he got home too late for us to go out to eat, so we had breakfast for dinner. I am glad we wound up staying home.
They were celebrating the 35th anniversary of "The Sting", the movie with Rober Redford and Paul Newman.
Gosh, I remember that movie like it was yesterday. I remember going to my girlfriend's son's piano recital and he was playing the sting.
Gosh, has it been 35 years? Time goes by so fast when you are happy!!
Well, I had a no use gas day yesterday, so that is $2 more to add to my challenge money.
Prev. total $21,878.00
today 2.00
new total $21,880.00

    Are they friends out of friendship or just out of what your husband can do for them for free?

    Just really past customers that he did some remodling for. People are always calling him cause he is so handy.

    I was flipping channels after I worked out last night and found The Sting. Even though we own the DVD (it is one of our favorite movies), I still sat and watched it. When my wife came home, she didn't even look at the TV and said, "Oh, The Sting is on." Great movie.

    Wow! That movie (or really that song "The Entertainer") brings back memories. I learned to play that song in high school when I took guitar lessons. I played in in a recital with a quartet. I could not play it now if my life depended on it but hearing it always makes me think of my old guitar teacher.

    Ima, I love your inspiration. I am striving for no-spend days myself. I was to have a working meeting over coffee in the office cafe today which meant having to spend at least $2 however, my colleague said, I've had enough caffeine for today (oh, did I mention we live in Seattle?) so I didn't have to bring my wallet! (Dance of Joy) for not having to spend any money today!! Thanks Ima, you're always in the back of my mind.
