In all seriousness, after an extended hiatus (of about a year and a half) we have decided to call it quits as haste. This has been one of the most amazing experiences of our lives but we have all come to the point where it is time to move on. A simple thank you does not express the gratitude we feel for everyone who has supported us over the years.
Man, why does everything I like end up leaving?
I had this dream for the past few weeks, a few times already, very vivid…
I’m standing in line at the checkout counter at Speedway. Its not the usualy Speedwya that I am at (believe me, I’ve gone to ALL of them in the Tri Cities.) and I get up to the counter, and Begin to put my stuff on the counter. The guy behind the counter, hes a bit slow..not retarded slow, but just slow in general. I tell him that I need a pack of smokes, he gets them ,however, he has a hard time rying to get the brand right. Ath this time, a line is forming behind me, about half a dozen people at this point. He gets them, returns to the cash register, tried to scan them, he is having the utmost difficulty.
Now, usually I would try and remain patient, but I would also try and help him out; take the smokes, scan them, yadda yadda ya. But, I wait. I remain patient, because I know that this person can do it themselves. Throughout the ordeal, the line has massed into well over a dozen people, some of them making comments under their breath. I say nothing; I remain patient. After a while, he gets the total, I hand him my credit card, and he has difficulty with that as well. Patience. Eventually, he gets the credit card to work, and my goal of getting my drink + smokes has been accomplished.
This dream, being truly symbolic, is sub consciously telling me to be patient. And that, I will.
