If i were a good boy today, i would have spent my day filling out about 438 feedback forms requested from every imaginable type of organization. i even have one from a medical group that arrived via snail mail, including the free mailing for the enclosed envelope.
The dentist, the audiologist, the dermatologist, the optician, the vehicle maintenance shop, the vet, and several hundred more i cannot recall all wanted me to rate them from heavenly to awful.
With each one, i remembered the 45 reminders i had an appointment and should show up a half-hour early, so they could be sure i wouldn’t wait too long…or something like that.
i kept thinking of “Raiders of the Lost Ark” with its final scene when the custodian in the huge government warehouse is towing the well-packed ark into the rows and rows of government top secret crates.
i think all of my feedback forms would end up in that warehouse.
Then i consider rating them all at the bottom of the scale and berating them for sending me so much…er, crap. But i realize that would bring about and unending number of texts, emails, and phone calls to assuage their displeasure. Not worth it.
So, i turned to my never-ending project of organizing Maureen’s and my photos, somewhere in the range of four million.
Then, out of a shelf in my bookshelf/credenza falls a unique bit of my history. It is the only sports action photo that exists of me: Heights vs. Carson Newman freshman team, October 1960, tie game 6-6,. This was the third quarter. Number 30 is me. i, along with the guy behind the ball carrier (unidentified) and number 82, Greg Hill, made a gang tackle on the sideline.
Ordinarily, that photo would be here. But my app running my website, Go Daddy, does not like my scanner. Or my scanner doesn’t like my website. Or either one or both do not like this technilogically challenged old man. So i’m posting the photo along with this post on Facebook.
Regardless, it was a nice day rather than filling out feedback forms.
