I got a call from the hospital in Peoria at 1:45am Monday morning. The nurse was calling to tell me my father had passed away. As I mentioned a few days ago, this wasn’t unexpected.
I subscribe to Aldi Foods’ weekly newsletters. This week’s special purchases includes a nifty metal shelving unit with casters. I’ve included a screenprint below.
First off, hello Gary and Puddy — Nice to meet you at the Baltimore airport and we hope you made your connecting flight in Detroit!
We’re back home after our Baltimore odyssey. Oh, home feels so good, for it’s been a long day after a night of sketchy sleep at the hotel. Right now I’ll throw out a few bits of news since my last update.
We’re tickled with the photo and story the Newark Advocate published in Sunday’s edition (it’ll only be visible online for 7 days, but we’ve saved it locally). A writer for a national magazine contacted Howie via e-mail today, saying they want to do a photo shoot and interview with both of us for the January 2006 issue of their diet magazine. How awesome is that? There’s no pay involved, but we’ll have some nice portraits from it and God is making a way for thousands to be encouraged by what we started out doing just for ourselves and each other. If more people can be inspired, that’s great! And what a motivation to keep going…
