    bad luck lately

    I have recently found two items on ebay I was very excited about. The first was a long wool jacket in the anderson plaid. I got it for 1.00 plus 8 shipping. Unfortunately it didn't have a size just seam measurements and when I tried it on it was too small. My 19 year old son ask to see it and it fit him perfectly. He was going through his wardrobe trying different pants and shirts with it. I'm glad he was happy but dang I wanted that. The only thing either way here in socal neither one of us would be wearing it for the next 7 months. Then I found an Viet nam era officers mess jacket I thought I could convert for my daughters wedding in June for 20 dollars. Unfortunately it didn't have a size either but the measurements they gave made me think it would fit. It came and too small but now my other son ( who won the coin toss) has a jacket for the wedding.

    I wish you were my Dad.
    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

    That's not bad luck, Grizz. Things always flow in life (sounds like I've spent to much time staring at our lake and trees again), your two sons have just been blessed with a gift of a jacket from dad. Now it's your turn, the right jacket should be showing up any time now. (I'll now go back to watching the sunrise over the lake.)

    It is for situations just like these that the word bitter-sweet was invented.
