The Numbers Game

"God Mom, I never expected to see pop doing this," Little Al added.

I dug in again and could not believe how much I enjoyed this. The whole family watched as I devoured my first Philly cheese steak sandwich, peppers and onions included.

So, what did I learn from all of this? Well, I learned I was one of the lucky ones, my family loves and supports me even if I do get carried away sometimes. Also I learned not to ask obscure questions that can be misinterpreted. It can lead to skewed data and cause all kinds of trouble like my friend Fred once suggested.

The most enlightening thing however, is that you don't need a computer to record your research. I use a pad of paper and a pencil now and I'm up to house number five on my list. The numbers look promising but I'm not about to tell you what, or how, I found out. Not until the data is complete but I will say this, the numbers don't lie.
