Well=expressed angst, Valerie. I'd give some of the dimes back to him so he can take a cab and arrive on time. :) Best wishes in the contest! Hugs, Carolyn

He'd probably buy a beer with the coins and still get home late! Thanks for the best wishes!

This is hilarious and pertains to one of my family members. We always have to tell her every event starts and hour earlier to get her there on time. She loves to make an entrance. Well done. Good luck!
