The kids were off seeing the grandparents for the day – who was I to deny them opportunities to spend time together? And my wife, Penny, had said that she had a few things to do – nothing that I could help with. I ran through in my mind if there was anything that I needed to do and figured there was some work that I could get done. Heading down into the basement where our office was, I hopped on the computer and started to get some stuff done.
I had been working away for a while – somewhat seriously, I wasn’t busting my butt by any means, when I heard Penny coming down the steps into the basement. Without turning around, I called out “Hey honey, what’s up?” She didn’t respond right away, so I just finished up my thought in what I was doing and then turned around. What a sight greeted me.
