Last Tuesday something funny happened. I woke up at 4:00 am to take the trash out (why do I do that- another blog posting sometime). I opened the door and stepped out of the house and I noticed a car with two people coming quite fast on the street in front our house. As the car came screeching to a halt, I noticed two people in the car.
Although I was terribly foggy (sleepy), I suddenly thought of an old B/W mystery movie scene - the hero is in the wrong place at time, sees a car speeding and coming to a screeching halt. A dead body is thrown out while the hero, unnoticed, starts sweating. Out steps the villain who looks around to make sure that no one is around when suddenly the hero steps on something making some noise thereby starting the movie....
Anyhow, as the car screeched to a halt right in front of our house, outstepped a woman with something in her hand as she advanced towards me. I was 1) sleepy and 2) stunned to even react. Within a minute, I realized what was in her hand - it was the Tuesday morning Wall Street Journal. She literally handed me her newspaper and as she turned back, I heard a chuckle. Perhaps, this was the first time happened to her - deliver the newspaper at 4:00 am to some one.
Also, the same thing happened last Friday too ... this time though I was ready for her!
