Mr. Betho!? Where are you?

I'm a patient man. No, really, I am. (stop snickering!)

But I had an appointment with this new person, who I haven't met, who was scheduled to arrive on Tuesday. He keeps sending little messages that he's coming... he's coming.. no really, he's coming... I'll be there shortly.

He's a good friend of my daughter's.... she knows him very well, and she's referred him to me. Isn't that sweet that she wants him to meet me?

But so far, no signs of Mr. Betho. When, oh when, is Mr. Betho going to arrive? And, of course, everyone here at my office is aware of Mr. Betho's impending arrival... and they ask me as they pass by my desk. "Any word? Has Mr. Betho arrived yet?"

"Nope, not yet... don't worry... I'll let you know." C'mon, I'm not getting any younger, you know. Time appears to have slowed down to a crawl. Maybe Mr. Betho will arrive today?

Home is where the hearth is.

Bryan - I don't really know him yet, but I hope to.

Brian - oh... beth ostrosky... I don't think so.

Barb - oh, he doesn't understand responsibility at all, yet... but he will.

Kerrie - it's always a delight to talk to you... and yes, I think it will. (and we know exactly where he is... "X" marks the spot.)

Sorry Alan, I thought he called you. He stopped by my area and fell in love with it and decided to pass on Chicago! :-)

Your daughter can breathe easier now. I'm sure she didn't want to be kept waiting for one more minute than she had to. Welcome to the world, Leo. Now if you would just wait in this line for your shots!

This must have been the post that Kerrie was referring to when AR wasn't working at all and she was giving me a run down of who was doing what. SO glad he finally decided to arrive. They have this nasty habit of showing up when THEY think it's time, but I promise, you will forgive them anything. Super congratulations.
