Pretty Good Day

Bought an electric-acoustic guitar on ebay a little after midnight wed. morning and it arrived today! WOW! I didn't expect it that fast. Needless to say, I gave that ebay seller some very good feedback. I was like a little kid today. "What if it comes today? That would be really cool. Nah, it won't get here until friday at the earliest. Then I won't be able to play it 'til Sunday because I have to work two pretty long days friday and sat. It probably will not get here until monday or even tuesday. But maybe it will come today. That would be cool. No, no, I can wait. Delayed gratification is good. But it would be pretty cool if it came today..." Yeah, I have these kind of conversations with myself on a fairly regular basis. Aaanyway, I played my new Ibanez for about two hours tonight. I will post a pic of it in a few days. It's kinda pretty me thinks.

I also reconnected with an old friend via email today. We have not seen or talked to each other in about five years. He is going to be in Huntington in Oct., so hopefully we can get together.

I leave you with a quote from Sailing Between the Stars (by Steven James) :
"When you've been given a gift that you didn't earn and could never afford and there's nothing you can do now or in the future to pay it back, it can be pretty unsettling. It changes you. It has to, or you didn't realize how undeserving you really were (and are)"
