thursday morning with jay


upon waking up jay prepared for his day full of school, work, and most importantly his wife. he stretched and put on the usual clothes....khakis and a black shirt. after thoroughly brushing his teeth and putting norman in his kennel, he headed downstairs to drive downtown. "it's raining?" he thought as he walked outside. "i'm sure maggie has an umbrella in the car," he reassured himself. driving carefully downtown making sure never to go over the speed limit, jay parked in his usual free spot approximately 2 miles from the university. he begrudgingly reached underneath the seat searching for the golden ticket, an umbrella. after a few seconds his hand felt the slick umbrella. "perfect," he thought. he pulled it out and quickly saw that i so graciously left the multicolored and far from sturdy umbrella in his car. he really didn't think this would matter because of his high self confidence in his manhood. well it turned out that this wonderfully multicolored umbrella really does not keep the rain away from a person when the wind is blowing. as he started walking to scooters for his pit stop for coffee, the umbrella blows inside out creating quite the sight with rain pelting his face and pants. he approached scooters and quickly ran inside. the regulars are sitting at the surfboard table near the entrance and immediately asked him, "would you like a man's umbrella jay?". "hahaha, funny guys", jay responded. not thinking anything of it and getting a laugh at himself, jay grabbed his coffee and briskly headed outside. as he glanced over his shoulder after he put up his umbrella, he noticed the regular coffee goers getting quite the laugh at him. he was glad that he could provide much amusement. to say the least, this amazing umbrella i left for him was not so amazing.......he still got wet. 2 hours after walking in the rain his sleeves and pants were still wet. maybe its time for a new one.
