Just a QUICK Post & Thank GOD For ALL WE HAVE

This past Tuesday, I was asked to do a local channel 5 television program which I have done before with the theme on the antiques world.

I have done this a few times and yielded many calls in the past.Though THIS past Tuesday I only got like seven calls in an hour when you are by yourself seems live forever!

As the program ended I was feeling sorry for myself!How DUMB was I.

THEN in the next hour, I realized how stupid I was for feeling down because I had competed against American Idol night and for whatever reason?

I left the complex which is right above the peaches and Cream ice cream place and as I pulled out, there is a SUV driving with NO LIGHTS on all over the road!<P>I was on my cellphone with a guy named Alfredo and I was like screaming at him and did not know what to do as this person was all over the road!

I was then destined to catch up to them and help! I got to East Albert street and tried to now wave , whom was a man down. I got him to pull into the Tribly Kite factory right near TV Lab.

Sidebar-there are a few details I leave out for reasons not needing to be noted.

As I spoke to this man whom has done wondrous things for Torrington and even served on a few boards back in the 1960's, he did not know where he was going, where he was coming from and he was NOT drunk! The big A word came into play as I looked at this man who again was a giant and leader in Torrington.let us say, we got him home safe and I felt good that this man who was driving, not knowing much of anything, got home to live another day!

Again, how dare me feel down over a stupid program?Here was this man ,whom has been inflicted with the worst disease, or one of them again called Alzheimer's.

Today, IF something gets you down, remember this story and Have a great Memorial Day weekend.Gotta go!Thanks for any comments and we will talk next Tuesday,God willing!No one will ever know whom this man is!
