So I am in the airport, expecting just to see Michelle and to have a quiet ride home. I meet her in the airport. Michelle is giggling, and she can't stop. The kids are with her (surprise #1).
She has a cell phone that I don't recognize. She says she borrowed it, but won't tell me to whom it belongs. I look at the phone. There is no way that we can afford the kind of plan that goes along with that phone. It ended up being the driver’s phone...see below (surprise #2).
I go outside and find out that Seabury hired a huge stretch limo to take me home. This limo was over-the-top. There was a TV, full bar with neon lights, a basket full of cheeses and champagne, and four smiling Yamadas (surprise #3).
I have gone from being overwhelmed with gratitude to being dumbfounded. This is just too much.
I feel like I’ve won the lottery...
-I successfully defended my diss., and I actually had fun
-I officially won my fantasy baseball league
-I met Da Coach, Mike Ditka, in Newark International Airport. He was on the same plane, and he was kind enough to sign autographs for Stephen and Adam.
-And now this...
Completely outrageous. All in all a pretty eventful day.
