My good pal, Lisa, and I walk about three or four times a week. We are proud of the fact that we keep a good pace while entertaining ourselves with our conversation. Today, however, I needed a big favor. I got Steve a rather large and heavy present that needed to be picked up, and the minivan was just too small. So I had to rent a truck from Menard's. Sweet Lisa was willing to go along with me on this awkward, not so pleasant excursion. FYI, if you need to rent a Menard's truck, do not set your expectations too high. I.e. no knobs on heat/cooling system, and you just deal with the seat reclining as it is, sister. Don't let the no smoking signs on the windows fool you, either. But for $18.95 for 75 minutes, hey, what did I expect? Lisa was an absolute trooper helping me get the box into my garage which took three men at the store, and then she helped me wrap it. She's a real friend, and I am grateful to her.
