I've got a couple you can use, you know, the ones with the magic formula magnification!<BR/><BR/>Seriously, J, if I could <STRONG><EM>Pick Just One</EM></STRONG> of the 119,000 worldwide candidates I'd pick you. Did you know that only one person out of every 66,000 people world wide will be taking this test on Saturday?<BR/><BR/>Your attitude, perserverance, professionalism, and study habits have been nothing short of exemplary (I've never seen anything like it) during these three years of preparation, and at the same time, you've loved Millie and Grayson well, loved Christ and your brothers, <EM><STRONG>and</STRONG></EM> still given 100% to your job. I'm sure glad I'm on your team, and know three others who feel the same way.<BR/><BR/>I know you think everything in life is either a competition or a science experiment, but here's another easy to remember 'fact of life' that I know you know: that the test you're taking Saturday? It's nothing more than a gussied up, new-fangled version of one basic, easy to remember, time-tested, never lied yet formula, yep, you got it, it's <STRONG><EM>D = R x T</EM></STRONG>.<BR/><BR/>I love you so much and I'm so proud of you. <BR/><BR/>Dad<BR/><BR/>p.s. I'll give you give me a nickel for your wrong answers, I'll give you a quarter for your right ones...Oh, on this on Saturday and on every day, remember to have fun...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
