Surprise Phone Calls

Last night the phone rang and Marcel answered it. He brought it to me and when I asked who it was, he said he didn’t know. As soon as I said Hello and heard the other person speak, I knew it was my friend M. from Australia. We’ve talked several times in the past on the telephone and even though it has been quite some time- that’s one voice I won’t soon forget.

It was SO wonderful to catch up with her, share a few ideas and thoughts with each other and a little laughter. We both agreed that it had been far too long and we need to do it more often. Thank you again, M. for the wonderful surprise. It was definitely the highlight of my day.

Lasting Impressions

I have Dr. Phil set on the DVR to record every afternoon, five days a week. I rarely have the television on during the day- even if I’m home, but I’ll go back and watch them from time to time when I have spare time on my hands. I notice that there seem to be a lot of people there needing help with drugs or other addiction issues and I’m happy that he can direct them to some of the best rehab treatment centers in the area, but I often wonder what happens to these guests after the fact. I know that sometimes they do update shows, but other times they don’t.

I remember way back in the day- before the Jerry Springer show included flying chairs- he did a lot with the homeless. I remember a homeless kid called Tweaky Dave and I often wonder what happened to him. It’s weird how some things or people leave a lasting impression- often without even realizing.
