In a spreadsheet the company is sending out with a proposal is a list of our names and categories. It seems that I have “Considerable Expertise” in the “General” category. I think I’ll use this for my post-retirement business card:
Jim Service
“Considerable Expertise in General”
A person tried to merge into our car when our son was driving one evening. No-one was hurt and the car was drivable That person claimed it was my son’s fault and, I guess, this guy was near home because the father and a friend joined in to confront my son. He got in the car, locked the door and called the police on his cellphone for advice. There was a witness and my insurance company says the other party admitted being at fault so we don’t pay the deductible. Those few scratches across front and back fenders and two doors amount to almost $4k of repairs.
Our company put together a team to climb the 1776 steps of the CN Tower to raise funds for the United Way. I surprised myself by putting in a respectable time of 20:26. Though I took the camera up with me it was pouring rain so I only took a few pictures of the team while we had breakfast after the climb. Now I am very tired, not really because of the climb, but because I had to get up at 6:15 am on a Sunday to meet the team downtown at 7:30.
