Well, I didn't dive after the bag. However, I didn't have the Brad Pitt lens filter like I was promised (oh....you sleep well, TJ. But when you least expect it....). But it was a good start for me. In grabbing my wife's paycheck and putting the number into the calculator, a true, accurate amount on the check would have been $144.75½. I probably should have rounded it up, but man, 75 cents is such a round number that I just dropped that half a penny. I'll be doing plenty of rounding up as I five-the, so I don't think it's a bad thing.
After I calculate the amount, worry hit me fast but I had to leave and get to church to get the media setup. The checkbook was in the car, so I filled out the check on the dash just before I started my car. I shake my head again as I look at my check, ask myself again what was I thinking, and then turn the ignition. My CD player immediately kicks in with the last song it had going, so on pipes up the end of the song "Beginnings" by Chicago, while they are singing "Only the beginning...".
Thanks God - that helped.
