Roadside Reading
In the midst of the Life Plus training blitz, my jeep broke down halfway between Memphis and Batesville. Fortunately, my boss was only a half hour or so behind me on the road and she was able to help. She met up with us (me and my doggie) on the side of the highway as we were walking the couple miles back toward the last gas station we had passed. Flash forward an hour or two and me and the dog are sitting on the shoulder next to my jeep, sharing a gallon of water and trying to not to overheat while we wait for our ride. Flash forward again and my jeep is getting a new water pump while I’ve been chauffeured around by a coworker. There may never be a good time for your car to break down, but there are definitely worse times—during a three hour drive as part of a frenzied week of travel and German hosting falls safely in the worse time.

Sorry little bro! Glad to hear help was nearby. Tell the Germans hi from me.
