Ok, here’s the deal: I don’t post personal stuff on here much cuz, well, I’m not that interesting. BUT…I will share a little NASCAR related personal story regarding the 4th of July.
A year ago today, my daughter received a Make a Wish trip to meet a certain driver in Daytona. This driver was extremely nice to our whole family and it was a wonderful once-in-a-lifetime experience. During this meeting, said Driver had offered to autograph whatever we wanted. One of my items was dark and required a silver Sharpie for the job. This driver only had a black Sharpie, but being that I come prepared, I had a silver Sharpie in my bag. I let him use my Sharpie willingly, but I never expected that, well…he kept it. I was busy smiling and taking pictures and enjoying this extraordinary moment, but all the while thinking, he has my Sharpie dammit. Toward the end of our meet, hugs had been given and damn if he hadn’t not given me back my silver Sharpie. (It may be important to state here that I love all things office-product-like. I LOVE new paper, cool pens, dry erase markers, but Sharpies, well, they are the end-all! Yeah, I’m simple that way.) So, I’m thinking, do I ask for the Sharpie back? Can I do that? I mean, this is the most popular driver in NASCAR. My daughter waited 18 months to meet him, endured unspeakable medical nightmares and has been through more physically than most adults. I am worried about a Sharpie??
In the end, I never did mention it. Sure, he can be the most popular driver on the circuit, but he’s just a petty thief to me 
This is actually what it’s all about:
