It's leaf pick-up day tomorrow.
I couldn't get this giant spider in focus. He was on my chair when I went out for a cigar. His body was the size of a quarter.
But really what I want to talk about is Ray Kroc. I found out tonight that Jen had a picture of the McDonald's founder taped to the inside of her closet door growing up. What a weird kid.
When I hung a poster it was Farrah Fawcett or the Cowboy cheerleaders (ok, I had a Michael Jackson poster. But that was from Thriller, when MJ was the coolest)
Meanwhile my wife has the founder of a fast food giant.
I wonder if she had the Fortune 500 CEO trading cards or an "Arthur Anderson - Great Moments in Auditing" lunchbox.

The story of Ray A Kroc (those of us who knew him always add the A) was that I had about 5 and a half shares of McDonalds stock when I was young and for some reason instead of dividends they sent out 8 x10 glossies "suitable for framing" which I thought was very funny. So Ray A Kroc wound up with a place of honor (in my closet).
I find it hard to believe that my photo of Ray has never come up in the past 15 years we've been together. I think our current closet is lacking without him.
And how did this fascinating story about Mr. Kroc come to light today?
Ray Kroc's name came up in something we read.... I already forgot. I forgot when Jen said "I had a picture of Ray Kroc in my closet".... it through me off....
It was a question on Jeopardy and I yelled "Who is Ray A Kroc! He was in my closet!!"
