I had a little to drink. So, in celebration of the experience, I thought I would post something I could laugh at when I wake up sober in the morning. Feel lucky you are reading this because I may delete it in the morning.

Gerald didn’t have a lot of money but he had a lot of love for Angelica and so he wanted to show each and every day how much he loved her. It started with little notes that he placed on her windshield as he left for work at the hardware store across town. They were simple little notes saying things like, “You mean the world to me,” and “You make me so happy,” and, a direct life from that Jerry Maguire movie, “You complete me.” Angelica thought it charming to see those little notes on her car. She kept them in a shoebox.
