Once an event gets placed on the big office calendar, it is set. The big office calendar controls all major events - paydays, car payments, doctor visits, dreaded business trips and fun time.
A couple of weeks ago, Erin planned her "daddy & daughter" summer trip - Six Flags. The date was marked - July 10th. Would it rain? Would we REALLY go? The last five evenings had been the same - can we print the tickets yet? Hey daddy, if you order online everyone pays kid price! (What can I say, she is cheap like her dad). She even printed off a list of every ride in the park to plan her attack. (Now, if she had put it on a spreadsheet - she would be just like her dad!?
Well, she was up early this morning for the big day. Would it rain? Are we really going?
Every mile that passed was spent looking at the clouds. And every mile that passed was dry. Six Flags was a go. Look! I see a roller coaster!
Success for her was measured in checking all the rides off her list. After 8+ hours, mission accomplished.
"I had a good day daddy," she said on the way to the car.
Success indeed.
No Regrets.
