Jump Up Down Up Down.

I was checking out at Walmart this afternoon.  The cashier was a slightly older gentleman; I've never encountered him before, but my mom has and he's constantly asking people how their days are going and just being generally friendly, which, in all honesty, is pretty rare these days.  After he asked me if I wanted to sign up for a mastercard (which I politely declined) and if I wanted to donate $1 to the Breakfast Clubs of Canada (which I did), the following ensued:

Him: I'm sorry, one more question.
Me: Oh ... Ookay?
Him: What was the highest point of your day?
Me: Oh, uhh, I guess I had a really great day at work.  What was yours?

He then proceeded to tell me that the highest point of his day was that he got to write his own obituary.  I laughed and told him that I didn't think very many people would think that that was the highest point of their day.  He asked me who better to write your obituary than yourself, then told me that whether or not his wife decided to use it was an entirely different issue.  I then replied that hopefully he wouldn't actually need said obituary for a long while yet.

I just thought I'd share this funny little story as it definitely brightened my day.

Considering the Monday I had, today was brilliant.  (I stupidly locked my keys in my car yesterday while the weather was at its worst with respect to the cold and blowing snow ... fortunately my mom was able to come right away and bring her set of keys.)

I figure I should also share that I got to watch the likes of Lisa La Touche, Tasha Lawson, Danny Nielsen, Katelyn Harris, and Max Pollak dance on Friday night, then take master classes with Tasha and Max on Sunday.  I highly suggest looking up Max Pollak's rumba tap on youtube.  Seriously.

I know how to rumba and I know how to tap, but putting them together? I couldn't.  I'll save you the trouble of looking up the first video ... enjoy!
