Well folks....
I expect the time has come for me to beg a favor from as many of you as can...before I do...there's some background fill...
Of all the religious stuff I never really bought into...and I have studied on it some...there is one thing I have never been able to shake....
That is the presecence of guardian angels...(no Bruise...not the ones with the little red berets...) You can call them "good spirits" if you prefer...the words have no importance
In all seriousness...they are there. Need proof?
Basic law of the Universe...equal and opposite forces....
Ok...so I KNOW...there is EVIL...with a big "E"...and there are some evil bastards out there...who thrive on spreading chaos....
SO...there is without a doubt...something there to counter them evil bastards...
There is a lot more to be said...but it is best said over beers...
Anyway...here's the favor part....
I gotta have an operation tomorrow. The odds are 1 in 200 that I won't get off the table. (I think my odds would be better if I spent a year in Irag with a combat unit!)
I never really believed in odds like that...when it is your time...there you go...numbers and stats mean exactly bupkis.The surgeons always tell you that stuff...for liability reasons...
All that being said...whatever happens... I got no worries for me. I'm good...
But...see...I got this lovely wife...and my little daughter...and my son who is going to be born in November...and I worry for them....
While I am asleep...and the surgeons are cutting...I have asked my angels...to watch over my little family...I'll take my chances...as long as I know they are safe...
So, tomorrow, if you guys could think good thoughts for Wendy, and Emi, and my son who is still in Mommy's tummy...
I'd be grateful.
